[QUOTE="dean nelson, post: 108992, member: 1305"] The one way I know i can get them effectively without hurting them is to put a fish or two out on a stringer then pull it in slowly when the turtle starts to eat them. Most times the turtle won't let go and you can just net them. Problem is you have to be there watching it for it to work. It's kind of an odd setup since I can fish anyway I want and use any bait I want since the lake is privet but would assume that once caught the turtle unlike the fish would fall under game and fish rules like a duck or muskrat would. Although I'm not 100% sure they could force a person to put it back in a private pond....could definitely say no putting in another lake though. Hell could just drop it into the storm drain and the turtle would be back in the drainage ditch that now has water in it again. Needless to say this whole thread is purely academic and I'm pretty sure if anyone ever did get a turtle it would end up being a none fatal version of the 3 S rule. [/QUOTE]
