OK, two years ago, I saw a large turtle pull a baby Mallard duck under water and it never surfaced.
Right then I went to war on turtles in the pond.
Turtles will eat anything they can catch including fish.
With the 12 guage, I can feed them a side order of 00 buck.
Can you eat the turtles ? It seems to me that the buck would ruin an otherwise good lunch.
I used to make turtle soup when I was a kid. One of my first “on my own” types of hunt and harvest.
Now I’m into ducks so I’m on your turtle’s side :)
