Just to bring this topic up again, I noticed when weed whacking along my pond this past weekend,a soft area long the shore with about five or six 7" to 8" diameter, or larger wtare-filed holes in the bank. Actually, I encountereed a few soft spots along my pond bank with associated water-filled holes. At any rate, when I was working at the one spot, a snapping turle with an 8" shell came out from underneath the bank and was watching me work. Now, in the past, I have blamed some pesky muskrats in my pond for damaging my bank in certain areas, but I have to believe some of the damage is actually being caused by turtles. At best, I might have two, maybe three observed turtles in the pond. Can trutles wreck your bank just as bad as muskrats? How can you tell the difference between culprits? Thanks for any advice or experiences.
