You can set pretty much anywhere, but if in doubt, ask the folks in green. Make sure you have a 6" exit out of your traps with mesh under 4" and a tag on your traps.

thats pretty pricey for a hoop net. mine were $30. i set private ponds but i understand you can set rivers and creeks. i dont think a turtles out of a river would be very good to eat though. at least not here.

I'm calling bull. Maybe 25 years ago. The material in a quality hoop net is now that much.


Never argue with a fool - they will drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

call all you want friend. and you ll still be wrong. my nets come from (j)in iowa who is a turtle farmer and a member of here.
Lt bought them as did forrest london who used to trap turtles commercially. (he no longer does it and has sold his nets.) these are the same ones he uses to make a living trapping turtles in iowa. i bet you any amount of money people on here know him and i ll bet newt knows who he is too as hes a buyer like newt. ive used these two years( when they were bought and yes at $30. each) and other than needing dipped at the end of the season they are holding up very well. now newt suggest these are made in china and i do believe he is correct. that said have the traps we use to catch fur bearing animals are made in china or some similar country. so whats your point? they still work. i can make my money in one night using them. two twenty pounders even at a dollar a pound and im ahead. save the gas it took to get there. set a dozen nets and have a keeper or two in all and you quickly see things add up. my best day was 36. today i had 19 with 6 in one net. all keepers. i am not against american made products. i dont. beaverfoot who is a member on here makes and sells nets. i believe they are much higher though.regardless i will post some pics this weekend. too busy now catching turtles.

As Morgan said. You cant buy the materails to build a Turtle fyke like I sell .I bet Beaver foot will also agree.

Maybe that is why the Iowa guy no longer sells them.

So how do you store them until you take them to the buyer? How do you bring them home? cooler? tub? How long can you keep them before they need to be turned over to the buyer? What's the best way to track down a buyer in N. VA? Thanks for any thoughts.

250 gallon plastic tanks with a valve at the bottom which allows you to change water easily. plastic woven fur buyer bags/2 per bag and twisted down tight with a zip tie. plastic drums if you re not catching much. turn over at 1000 to 3000 lbs depending on how far it is to your buyer. are you driving to him or he driving to you. a lot to consider. if you re not someone who can deliver that time of numbers then perhaps another market may be available. ask the buyer for the best answer and what they want.

hoop nets can be ran from the bank on small ponds. this system is quite effective.

I have just a couple of questions. First what do you use to coat your nets at the end of the year with and how do you coat them? Do tyhem get dipped, brushed or sprayed? Also if oily fish work best have anyone had luck coating their fish with salmon oil? This is my first year trapping turtles. I have been getting a lot of 10-12 inchers but no keepers (13in in MI. Any advise to get some big old moss backs in my traps?
