How and when do you catch a wild turtle BOX turtle?

Hahaha. I remember one time I found a Box turtle hiding behind a stove. Okay, so, personally, the best time would be winter. you find a river, and look for holes. they are hibernating, so less bite and less walk. make sure you shine a flashlight in there first, cause of OTHER hibernating animals. if you find one, reach you hand down in there and grab the first few inches of soil for it to rest on, and also to incubate any EGGS IT MIGHT HAVE!! just make sure that you grab from behind if possible, if not, grab a stick so it has something to bite while you grab it. they can take a finger off!
