Cleared to investigate Indiana’s most stubborn lake legend
If you’re planning to cast a line, launch a canoe, or dip so much as a toe into an Indiana lake with suspicious ripples, this Beast of Busco Permit Card belongs in your pocket. First reported in Churubusco, Indiana, this supersized snapping-turtle-turned-legend has inspired decades of lake gossip, binocular stakeouts, and fishing stories that absolutely got out of hand.
Printed on a premium metal wallet card, this permit grants you semi-official authority to investigate mysterious splashes, missing bait, or that unmistakable feeling something large just brushed past your kayak. Flash it at the dock, keep it in your tackle box, or hand it to the fishing buddy who swears they almost caught it once.
