Go to your local outfitter store and get a trap. This should be legal but check your local DNR laws and make sure that you dont have to have a hunting or trapping license.

Put a couple of Aligators in the lake they will take care of the turtles.

I used to do that too. Just remember that sometimes that 22 shell will skip off so watch out what is behind the turtle. We don't want any restaurant patrons going face first in their soup.

go and buy a length of 4inch pvc pipe and four 90degree fittings, cut the pipe 5foot long and then glue the fitting to the pipe to make a square box, then buy some fencing (chicken wire) and place around under the pvc box to look like a net, then get a 1 x 6 treated board about ten foot long, then cut it 5 ft long or longer and place it on top of the pvc box in the middle , then cut the other piece of 1x6 about 2 or 3 foot long and place one part in the water and the other part on top of the 5 ft long 1x6, the turtles will climb on the board to dry off, and when they jump off the board they should jump inside the box , all you have to do is use a scoop net to get them out of the box, make sure you place the trap in the middle of the pond so no one will mess with it.

If you relocate them, the'll be back. I once caught a 15lb alligator snapping turtle heading across my pasture to the 1/2 acre pond on my farm. I couldn't believe it. Relocated him to the creek about 1/2 mile away over a ridge. 1 week later he was back. The second time he was permanently relocated to that big pond in the sky.

At my inlaws pond, we trapped them, and drowned them in the trap, I once shot about 30 turtles in their 1 acre pond over a weekend.

these turtles were going to have a heck of a time getting back because their new home was about 15 miles away they would end up road kill first intersate and city traffic :blink: :lol: :lol:

Cut a slot in the side of a 55 gallon drum that is big enough for them to fall through. Float the barrel low enough for them to climb up to sun themselves only to fall through the slot. Check it often to keep them alive.
