I walked down to the pond to feed today and to my surprise there was a 30+ pound snapping turtle devouring 1 day old bg eggs from beds. I have plenty of readers sliders but this is the first snapper I've seen at my pond.

Any tips on removing him? I assume trapping may be the easiest method? As if I didn't have enough work to do lol
