I used to do it in 90,000 acre Lake livingston to draw CC into the cove. I would never even think about doing it in my pond. Hard enough for the few turtles that survive my thinning to keep the normal mortalities cleaned up. I try to put them out at nightfall behind the dam or near some other woods. Not a scrap left the next morning. Need to get the game cams up and see the size of the coons. If I have to put them out in the day, buzzards do a good job, also with dead turtles that I discard. It is rather eerie though, watching the buzzards watch me while a flock is perched up in a dead tree.
