Hi, it's no problem I've always done it with just jugs but wondering about the other ways people do it

Dang it's gotten mighty dead in the kids forum since me nd some of the others moved on. Any how I trap em for sport more than anything since their illegal to keep here in MS. Well if i recall right your allowed one a year but no selling of any parts or live animals.

Anyhow I've also done some removal jobs. It's amazing how many large turtle you can have in a small body of water. I make all of my traps. What they are is a flat bottomed hoop cage made of concrete remesh with a net covering and a single flat throat. There's one in working on right now.

I really like these because their cheap to make and fairly durable. I get the remesh for free ,anyone that does concrete work usually has a few 1/4 rolls left over in their back yards they wanna get rid of.

i make all my netting by hand so i only like $12 in a few nets for a roll of #15 twine. You can buy the netting pre made from the fish net company for like $10. Honestly you can make these really really nice for less than $20. I also always add a pool noodle in the back . Say 3/4s of the way from the back . I like to bend it in the same D shape . If you put it this at back it keeps the traps boyant so the turtles don't drown but it also keeps it alt a lower profile in the water. Much less notable. I been meaning to do another pictorial to showing how to make one but just never got around to it
