I hate them. I've seen them injure other animals and people.

Last year I took a 35-pounder out of our pond, and relocated it miles away. I just spotted another one this year, not nearly as big, but big enough.

Trying to net the buggers is very difficult. I was thinking of getting a small crossbow. Anybody have any experience with that? They're supposedly pretty powerful and it seems like they could definitely get through the shell.

Thanks
