Sir I like your turtle trap and the plank ramp. If I may point out a small thing no matter how may turtles you have in the trap the weight is not effected by the amount of the turtles. The only time weight is a factor is if there are to many turtles on the plank that they could sink your trap so the turtles in the trap can escape .
The trap worked great. Turns out I didn't have any snappers, just red eared sliders. After 10 months, the wire rusted out, so use something a little more thicker and more galvanized.
I just seen your video. Did you ever get all of the turtles out of the pond? I also believe the turtles on that log was painter turtles I know for sure they wasn't snappers because snappers like to stay hidden. God bless you and your family my friend.
I got a bunch out, then realized none of them were snapping turtles. Most were red eared sliders. Trap worked well though. Bonus tip, It caught a bunch of small fish as well.
I have a 3/4 acre pond as well. Last year i pulled 6 25-30 pounders out. This year i have atleast two map turtles and 2/3 snappers. Im gonna wage war today.
First of all, cool turtle trap. When have you ever heard of anyone being attacked or bitten by a snapping turtle while in the water?🤣 Turtles are extremely fast swimmers, and want nothing to do with humans. The only reason they try to bite on land, is because they can't get away from you. You have absolutely nothing to worry about while in the water. They will swim away from you or your kids, long before you ever realize they're even there.
Thanks for the video. Please ignore people being rude to you with their comments
I get it all the time. Thanks.

Do you have a idea or update on the trap to get the snappers? That's what I need. Thanks

Great trap! I think you may have better luck catching Snapping turtles with a submerged trap cause they rarely sun themselves. Good luck.
Thanks. I haven't caught any snappers yet. Just red eared sliders.

So, after catching a bunch of turtles, I'm pretty sure I don't have any snappers in here. Just a bunch of red eared sliders.
I think you did not catch snapping turtles. They looked like sliders from the little glance at them that I saw. Excellent trap!
Yeah they're all red eared sliders. I found that out later on. Haven't seen any snappers in this pond. But still have way too many turtles.
All pond turtles are snapping turtles. Stick your finger in front of any pond turtles
Does it kill it
No it's a live trap. I just move them to my other pond.
A hundred pound turtle can in theory hold s four-year old under
Yeah. Not too worried about it anymore. Kids aren't that small anymore.
