I have been noticing a lot of turtles on my pond lately and since they eat a lot of my small bass, bream, and crappie, I decided it was time for a cull. Got out my Daystate Huntsman XL, a chair, a shooting tripod and went to work. An hour later, I had definitely killed 8 and probably a few more. Since everything is a head shot and there is no recoil, I could easily see the head explode and the front legs spasm before they sunk. This should at least thin the herd and was a pleasant way to spend a sunny afternoon. First time I’ve shot this rifle in over 2 years and it was still full of air and as accurate as ever.

Jerry: Snappers?

No, yellow eared sliders. It’s the breeding season and the females are leaving the pond to lay eggs in the yard. Drives the dogs crazy.
