While looking at my small pond from the house i could see one of the resident ducks making a lot of waves and commotion. I took a walk down to the edge and it looked like the duck had it's foot caught in something. Well, it had it's foot caught in a huge snapping turtle's mouth! The Turtle looked at me and spooked and let the duck go. I think i arrived at the right time because the duck was almost submerged and seemed to be running out of gas.
Do any off you fellas have and idea's for a snapping turtle trap? I have used a hook and line and caught them before, but i am afraid of hooking one of the blandings, painter, or spotted turtles i have in there.
I have also gone out at night with a spot light and shot them with the bow, but they spook easy and lay on the bottom so they are impossible to see.
Any ideas?
