I went catfishing at a buddy's pond the other day and caught a couple of big snapping turtles (3-4 feet in diameter?). I only saw one out there last year, but see them & catch them quite often out there this year .. not to mention, the fishing has been worse.

So, two questions ..
1) I'm guessing he definitely needs to those snapping turtles out of there, right?

2) Short of shooting them, is there a way to kill them? I don't carry a gun and couldn't figure out a way I could kill the damn thing, at least without risking losing a finger or two.

I would love to hear anyone's thoughts .. there is quite the debate going on amongst our group of friends.
