What kind of turtle is that? Or was that?
 It's more than the catfish would do.

I shot a turtle with a 357 magnum once. EWWW wont ever do that again. The shell exploded leaving the bottom part on the log.
Your pond though so you gotta do what you gotta do. How did you get rid of them? I think I would of left them in the water for the other fish to eat and dispose of. Not on the bank but in the middle of the pond.

The soft shell turtle is good on the BBQ..the meat under the shell will have different taste..some like chicken, like fish, frog legs..They are not hard to clean
They are also one of the indicator species, that lets you know that quality water..
They will seldom be found in muddy or unclean waters..
The judge is fun to shoot...I have 2 of them...One that I shoot and One that is still in the box...
They are a blast !!!!
 Can we keep him as a pet ??
