[QUOTE="Seedy, post: 1132025, member: 10694"] I think we have a Tromix Fanboy! :rollingla Seriously though...They make some cool toys and I'd love to go shoot with them. :gun1: In regards to legality... If it is a GRDA reservoir, you may NOT shoot over it. I believe the exception to this is bow fishing. [url]http://www.grda.com/Water/Publications/Lake%20Rules%2007-2008.pdf[/url] Obviously a farm or private pond wouldn't be held to the same regulations... As far as fish and game goes: From: [url]http://www.wildlifedepartment.com/regs/repandamph.htm[/url] I think most aquatic turtles could be considered "Nuisance Reptiles". Being a "Nuisance Animal" should also make the use of "tax stamped" suppressors on Turtles "A-OK"... (NO POP BOTTLES!) I checked to see what "endangered or threatened" turtle species can be found in Oklahoma: [url]http://www.wildlifedepartment.com/endanger2.htm[/url] NO species of turtle is listed as "Threatened or Endangered" (although several are Catagory II species of concern) SO...to sum it all up. [B][SIZE="5"]YES, In Oklahoma it is legal to open fire on turtles with any legal weapon as long as you are in a place where it is legal to be shooting that weapon.[/SIZE][/B] With that being said...back to the OP's question...Growing up I always used a pellet gun. Head shots were critical though. The red dots on the sides of there head made for excellent targets. :D [/QUOTE]
