TheWoWDBThe intact tortoise shell has a drop rate of 1 in every 4-6 kills. Make sure you still have Tua'kea's Breathing Bladder, as it does come in handy for going under water to find the turtles; especially since you gotta go underwater for the next quest, Parental Mastery.

If you chat to Hemet before turning the quest in, he mentions it being a long time since you and he hunted together.
Presumably he'll say different if you've never interacted with him before.

Description
Granted, tortoises are not big game but they can be mean game. They also work as the perfect bait for bigger game! Gotcher found some ol' tablets sayin' that the Torjari Pit is a sacrificin' site. The old empire used ta' feed unruly sorts to the waters as it were. Well ah mean to see me what's down in that water. Gather up some fresh tortoise shells and meet me at the pit. Let's see if ol' legends be true.

Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Fox Mastery
So, when I was scouting east of here I saw a collection of foxes. That's what I first learned to hunt when back on the Wandering Isle. If you want to see the challenge a young pandaren hunter faced when growing up, head east and face off against a bunch of foxes.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Parental Mastery
If them tablets were correct, all ay got ta do is a small dance ritual and the big thing o' the deep will be summoned. When it comes out, we'll get 'em and show me pop we are both true big game hunters like him.
