Turtles are to blame for some things, maybe making them a varmint in some
peoples eyes. But the truth is, turtles are usually the clean up crew from
some other cause of death to game fish and water fowl. Now that is a valid
job. Shooting turtles is not a sensible way to take them if you planned to
eat them anyways. Better to trap, hand catch, or even net them. Not much use
when they are disintegrated.
