Turkey buzzards

[Aggar]

Is there a season on these? Or is it open season or even legal to shoot them? I have about 15-20 that like to roost on top of my new barn and crap all over it. Want to thin the flock.

They are federally protected...

Seriously? What for?

Seriously? What for?

I think it's because they may be their mascot...

Seriously? What for?

Because all raptors are.

Yep, they are a raptor just like a hawk, eagle, or owl.

Shooting bottle rockets at them is both fun and legal.

Not only do you know the laws, but you know a good time!

Gonna have to get creative in my scare tactics. It's down by my food plots.

They're not going to be competing with you for food, unless you like your meat REALLY aged. Their beaks and talons are not strong enough to eat anything that hasn't been decomposing for a while. And they'll be migrating south here real soon. Can't eat frozen food.

I am only here because my eyes saw Turkey Blizzards, and I couldn't believe DQ came up with that, but with it being so close to Thanksgiving and all, I thought...

Yummy Turkey Blizzards!!! I hope they are made with candied yams. The thought of that just makes me drool.......

Turkey Buzzards are very cool. They are great at soaring. And they eat up the dead animals along the roads.

epoxy a bunch of tacks upside down on the peaks, they'll go somewhere else

Bury the bodies farther away from your barn and you won't have that problem.

If you don't have enough land for that or they are piling up.....just go deeper...
