take them to wild life and fish tell them where you caught them they may want to track them in the area

They should be killed on the spot if I am not mistaken. I am sure the FWC has heard "I am taking them home to my freezer" quite a few times. If you want to take the risk to take them home and properly kill them than thats up to you. IMO thats no different than taking them home and keeping them in a tank. If you are nervous about it just call FWC and ask them whats up or tell them what you plan on doing.

It's just a small animal, just let it go.
