What type of turtles are you talking about? Snappers are a treat....make good soup, too! I'm assuming if you shoot 'em, they sink to the bottom?
Might want to try building a turtle trap or two and catching them buggers......some of the locals might trade you for some fresh turtle meat.
Just a word of caution....check your DNR regulations; in some states it's illegal to shoot turtles, as well as other reptiles and amphipians (Michigan is one such state).
Happy hunting!

I have seen some big snappers out on the road that did not make the crossing, look to be about 20lbs or so. What I see mostly are soft shell in the pond and no where near the bank, the standard scurge of stocked fish ponds. Speaking of the DNR, I do have some long legged, pond wading, crows, that the DNR might get excited about were they to see their fluffy carcases floating around, especially those pond wading white crows.
Best,
Ed
