[QUOTE="Walker's Ridge, post: 1803938, member: 43087"] That's a tough pill to swallow. We've had trouble with them from time to time. We've lost lambs to them and many many chickens, but no calves yet. A few years back we lost some lambs as they were being born. The black buzzards would peck out the eyeballs of the lamb as it was being born. I would chase them off within minutes but the lambs were already dead. They would come in and attack the broiler chickens in the dark. They would have dozens killed and mostly eaten by sunrise with many more with lacerations. I was told that they injure more than they can eat so that they die from infection in a few days to provide an easy meal. I talked to our Game Commission officer in our area. He's a "By the Book" kinda guy. Said I couldn't shoot them because of international treaty, but to do what I need to do as long as he didn't get a call about it. Now I think you can get permits through the state to help control them. Maybe KY has something similar. [/QUOTE]
