I was looking for a better way of getting rid of turtles than shooting or trapping them. I have a turtle trap that I baited and put out for a week and only caught two turtles. Norm turtles compete directly with the fish for pellets which is why I would at least like to thin their numbers. I'm not trying to raise trophy turtles but trophy fish! Apcenter in Texas a valid hunting license is all that is required to kill turtles on private property.
