Norm, interesting post. I had no idea that some turtles will stay put. To the best of my knowledge, I have never had a snapping turtle. Actualy, I haven't seen one in years.

I read an interesting turtle article. Their life span limits interest in scientific study. Very few researchers want to study something whose life span will be longer than their own career.

What capture method do use for relocation?

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Boy, if I say "sic em", you'd better look for something to bite. Sam Shelley Rancher and Farmer Muleshoe Texas 1892-1985 RIP Grandpa
