What would you use to shoot turtles around the pond?

on the subject of air guns these Benjamin/Sheridans are fairly effective with the .22

I had a Marlin Model 60 that was pretty fun to shoot.
sneak up on them and you can usually get one shot and one follow up before they scatter off the logs.
took one with my 7Mag one day at around 175 yards.
all I saw was a red cloud

22lr and don't forget to sink you box with the last bullet or you will have bad luck. That is what I was always told as a kid anyway.

This a new pond that I built last year and several months ago stocked with fish and right now it is turtle heaven. I don't know if I can keep them shot out of there or not. I appreciate all of the ideas. Thanks...

You should be able to "keep them shot out". About 5 years ago, my five acre pond was filled with turtles. Over the Spring and Summer, I cleared the pond of most of the turtles by shooting. I was using a 22 hornet but the subsonic 22 LR should work just as well. By the way, the turtle population in the pond is still under control.

Quietly? Swim out there at night in full camo with a knife in your teeth
like a Navy Seal and take no prisoners.


You may have to recover the bodies of some of your enemies and see what the bullets do, to know what bullet does what.

this is great...

Just for informational purposes only, don’t try this at home ect.. Use a 12 oz pop bottle stuffed with copper wool pot scrubber. I think that they are called chore boys . You can get them at wal-mart or dollar tree. Do not use steel wool it will catch on fire.
