You really need to tell this to someone who gives a darn.......I sure
don't.......I live 20+ miles in the boondocks, nearest neighbor approx
10 miles away, surounded by swamps on three sides and heavy forest on
the other...all within about 2 miles from a major river and wetland
and .have more critters to deal with than you, and even with the
occasional 2 or 3 gators a year that try and take up residence in the
swamps and my pond...........herons out the ying yang, snappers,
sliders,soft shells, all kinds of snakes, racoons that turn my trash
cans over nightly, opppossums taking up residence in my outbuildings,
feral dogs, coyotes, fox, and now and then a wandering bear or two and
yet I manage to keep a large natural pond free of predators and
problems without a net or making such a fuss about how bad they are,
like you have a damned monopoly on critter
problems....................Perhaps you need to move back to new york
city since you seem so set on barricading yourself against whats
natural in the area you moved into.....

===## Hoard of turtles - reading comprehension problems again Roy? My

===
===## And your propensity to waste people's time (and bandwidth) with these
===nonsensical posts. All due to your lack of reading comprehension and
===frustration that I am still here and your friend is not. Now stop torturing
===yourself by reading my posts that are obviously too deep for you to
===comprehend and that upset you so much they cause you to suffer diarrhea of
===the fingers on your keyboard.
