My uncle wants to keep the shell. I've had to eliminate just a few of the big ol' Snappers in my ponds (I also trap and relocate the over populated Slider turtles too), but the snappers get shot...just way too many HUGE ones, with no other predators for several decades....some needed to be removed. That makes number 5... not as large as the other four, and others I've passed on, but still a nice shell...mebbe 20 inches. I don't know if y'all are familiar with Snappers, but they are some nasty, mean, prehistoric critters....and mess with my fishys so that's why. Managing ponds is all about balance...I'm just reducing a few of the HUGE ones....not total ellmination. I don't kill for trophies or sport...but the turtle population became an issue.
