These 2 have been with us since April and we’re finally ready to venture off on their own.

The one was very feisty when I picked them up, but once I got them out of the crate they looked a bit puzzled.

They hung around for quite a while, but I eventually got them to head off into the trees.

The one disappeared across the parking lot, but the other went more straight up, and I could observe it taking in the surroundings.

I had a snapping turtle to release also, so they have a lake, a big state park, and a mountain and state game lands across the road, so they have quite a bit of ground to pick out new roosts.

Good luck, cranky little ones! Safe hunting and I hope you both do so well for yourselves! ❤️❤️
