hello again, gentlemen. I have a question but wasnt sure where to put it.
Anyway, I have a 75 acre pond that is actually a dammed-up creek. Ergo, we have no real control over the types of fish and critters that get in there, but the bream and bass have been "supplemented" over the years and I caught my first ten pounder out of there this spring....which is why I love taht place and am concerned about a recent sighting...
I was marking some timber to be cut and decided to go to the pond to walk around and saw no fewer than 50 dead turtles in varying stages of decomposition in a 100 yard stretch of the bank. Most of them were only the shell, but there was an odor in the air. I walked a couple of other sections and saw nothing. The shells ranged in size.
Should I be worried? What could this be indicative of?
