Shame on you.

I own a large rec pond and the turtles can always be seen swimming and looking at me from the opposite side of the pond - a few hundred feet away. Turtles seem to move from ponds they feel threatened in and ones where they can't get as far away from danger (us) as they feel safe. So unless a turtle can get a few hundred feet away from you they most likely wont stay. In the deep south, red ear turtles are a pestilence. They quickly over populate, and the only way I know to get relief is a .22 magnum rifle and a scope. I like turtles, but enough is enough. Same thing with water snakes. When you catch a fish, you often have 2 or 3 that follow your catch out of the water. Since the lakes weren't mine, I could not kill them, but I sure slung them so far out in the lake they didn't come back that day. Bob |
