gd get a 10ft stick of 4" sewer pvc,Dont use schudule 40,its too heavy.Cut it into 4 equal lengths and glue together with 4 90s.Do a good glue job,no leaks.Cut some rabbit fence approx 18" and wrap it around the outside of your floatand zip tie it in place.Make the bottom out of same fence.I made the fence stick up over the pipe about an inch.Make ramps out of the fence by bending a piece about 3' long into a v and attach to 1 or2 or3 sides so they can crawl onto the trap.When they get on it the fence sticking up a little makes it hard to slide off the outside but easy to fall in,and they cant get out because the pvc is too slick for em to get hold of.BOOM you got turtles.
I read somewhere that you should leave 1 tutle in the trap when you emty it to attrack other turtles but not sure on that one.
Ditto,Cheezy,seems like mine took a week or so also. I dont mess with mine at all.About every 2 3 weeks I get tired of seeing them tyiing to get out so I emty it.
Its the darnest thing they can walk back home 10 miles huh.Its kinda funny,I wont shoot em but I do hope they become road kill barbacue (RKB)before they finsh their hike back home
