<P>Made 3 turtle traps yesterday and set them last night, without much knowledge at all,except what I got from Stan and others here. Not too bad, I was 1 for 3. He topped out at 27 pounds.</P>

<P>I am not sure what the best way is. This is my first rodeo at trapping them. I have heard everything from be-heading them to a hammer and even shoot them with a framing nailer. I will once again have to turn to the OW pages for the best way for that and how to skin them out.</P>

<P>Maybe these are dumb questions but any way... do all turtles have a hole in their tongue? If so does it have a purpose? The one I caught has one and I was wondering if it was normal or not. Next, how long in the clean out tub? Week or two?&nbsp;Thanks!</P>

<P>Thanks, hopefully it won't be too bad- I have a guy I work with that I found out traps and feels for them coming to assist. Just found out today he does it. He uses rope traps. Prefers to feel for them&nbsp; <IMG src="http://www.websitetoolbox.com/images/boards/smilies/eek.gif" align=absMiddle border=0>. That just isn't right! Maybe once I see a couple come out, I would get up enough sack to do it myself. Key to that is MAYBE!!!</P>
