Multible Catch Turtle Trap

Use this live turtle trap for those "#!@#" turtles that keeps getting your fish! Catch and remove your snapping turtle problem. Take your captured turtles several miles away before you release it.

This fantastic trap is a multiple catch turtle trap that can catch and hold many turtles at one time. It has a unique swinging trap door system that allows turtles to enter and not leave. It also has a "bait door" (see View Enlarged Image) near the back of the trap to allow you to quickly and easily bait the trap without reaching through the repeating trap door. It works especially well on snapping turtles. Just bait and set this trap and watch the turtles keep on coming.

Large for turtles up to 100 lbs.
24" Wide x 12" High x 42" Long - 19 lbs (Ships 55lbs DIM)
Constructed of rigid heavy duty galvanized 12 gauge wire mesh in a 1" x 2" Grid to form a strong cage
Super fast spring loaded doors with a special locking system that make them perform well when placed at any angle.
An adjustable trigger release pressure mechanism makes them easy to bait and set.
MADE in the USA
Ships oversized due to DIM Weight
These traps are the ultimate in convenience and reliability.
For optimal trapping conditions, bait the trap with pork fat or vegetable scraps wrapped in hardware cloth, and securely attach the bait to the inside, rear, of the trap with clips. Once the bait is in place, drop the trap into the water or place it on the shore, half in and half out of the water, where the turtles lurk. Turtles will enter the trap in search for food, step onto the trip pan, and activate the spring loaded, locking door.
If you choose to eat your turtle, Snapping Turtle makes a good soup. (Click here for recipe)
Note: If your turtle is as large, or larger, than the bottom picture, these traps will not work. We suggest calling the local zoo or use a gun!

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

Turtle trap
Rope
Bait (fish or meat)
Box
Thick gloves

Step 1

Choose a relocation area for the turtle. For snapping turtles, look for a large body of water, at least five miles away. Otherwise, it may find its way back. Make sure the relocation spot has a plentiful natural food supply.

Step 2

Purchase our turtle trap. Attach the trap to a rope at each end of your pond to anchor it. To remove the turtles, simply pull the trap in by the rope.

Step 3

Place bait in your trap. Whole fish or strips of fish work best for snapping turtles, but you also can use any raw meat. Wrap your bait with rope or put it in a sack and attach it to the inside of the trap.

Step 4

Put your trap in a location where you've spotted snapping turtles. They tend to dwell in shallow water near submerged branches. Make sure to have the trap partially exposed so the turtle can get air and not drown.

Step 5

Check your trap daily. As soon as you've caught a snapper, remove it and place it in a strong cardboard or plastic box. Move it to your chosen relocation spot as soon as possible to save the turtle trauma. Be careful of your finger. Snapping Turtles can BITE! (See video below for example)
