Message: [QUOTE="fishin4cars, post: 229102, member: 3097"] LOL, TM if I put in the pond right now I would probably have to empty it by dark. Very rarely do you catch them at night. Best to empty them late in the evening. I don't put mine in the pond unless I plan on emptying it that evening. The turtles can survive for quite some time but I don't feel that's humane. the hole reason for using a live trap is to humanely remove unwanted turtles. Last time I put it out I caught 13, released 3 back in the pond and relocated the others. Mostly what I catch and remove are the large Sliders. I would not be afraid to say that there are at least 100 or more turtles in the pond right now. I've probably removed 50 this year alone. [/QUOTE]
