Help!!!

Can anyone give me any advise on how to catch 2 very scared turtles in my pond this is 36" deep?  I have caught our 2 tame ones but the other two are not so easy.  I need to bring them to put in our indoor pond in the basement for the winter.

Perhaps a neighbor who is a fisherman can loan you his fish net. That's how I catch turtles at the lake.

My Dad and his buddies love to eat turtle.  (Not me, I've eaten a lot of weird stuff, but I don't care for turtle.)  They catch them in live traps similar to the Hav-a-hart traps you can catch mice and squirrels in.  There are several styles.  Some float and some are submersible.  I bet if you go over to Cabela's, you can get one.  Then you can easily remove the turtles each fall.

It really depends on how you fix it, my dad can make anything taste good!
