Current Goal

I am the son of Iron Jaw...my father went missing less than 24 hours after he was first placed, when the ammo can cache he was dropped in was muggled and all contents went missing. The family has sent me out to carry on dads mission which is as follows: "Iron Jaw, is a common snapping turtle that has a rather simple goal, and that is to travel from Ammo can to Ammo can. One day he hopes to get down South into some real swamp country. Feel free to help move him along on his goal. Please post pics when you discover him.. preferably outdoors, where you find him." Thanks! We also hope that one day Iron Jaw will resurface...we have left him as active..and perhaps one day dad and I can unite and travel back home.

About This Item

Son of Iron Jaw

Like his dad, Son of Iron Jaw is 10 inches long and 5 inches wide by about 3 inches high, a large trackable.. that will require some thought as to where you will place him should you pick him up...Hence his desire, and goal of Traveling along Ammo Can Caches

OMG soooo excited to find Son of Iron Jaw! My friend geogeek4sure and I have talked about this tb for awhile. We were at a cache where he was supposed to be, but wasn't. We were so intrigued by the name. We always refer to the elusive Son of Iron Jaw. I saw that he was placed at a Plantation about 30 minutes from my house, so I made the trek to retrieve him today. It was so worth it! He is AWESOME! So powerful and so worthy of his name! I will take great care of him while he is in my care, and geogeek4sure and I will make sure he finds a great new cache to clamp down on.

p.s. My daughter saw me holding him and freaked out! She thought he was real! :) LOVE IT!

Gave my quite a scare Son of Iron Jaw did. I will try to go back and get a picture of how it looked when I found him. Didn't have a camera on me at the time. I will attempt to place him where he will enjoy some swampy territory without giving the next person to find him a reason to fear for their fingers... Very cool!
