I got a 1 acre pond i probably had over 150 turtles in. So i put a ladder stand next to the bank to shoot them with a .22 so i can shoot down and it wont ricochet. I shot maybe 20 yesterday trying to come eat the floating feed, but there were maybe 20 or 30 heads across i couldnt safely shoot at. then today i did the same thing but only shot 3 and didnt even see but maybe 3 or 4 more across the whole pond. its almost like they abandoned the pond when i killed 20. are turtles that smart will they abandon a pond if enough of em wind up dead?
