[QUOTE="dbird33, post: 1554327, member: 30465"] Background: It seems like I have been fighting off Black buzzards this entire calving season. Last week I pulled up to the pasture and had about 15 harassing a cow with three on the ground hopping behind a newborn calf. That cow and calf were fine, but yesterday they finally got to one of my heifers that must have had some trouble. The calf had certainly been hit by buzzards, but I think they worked the heifer over a little as well (she wasn't very mobile.) Are other folks having issues with these birds? Has anyone tried to get a permit to hunt them? I'm not sure how strictly killing them is enforced in this area, but their numbers seem to be increasing exponentially lately. Also heard that hanging dead buzzards around the place will deter them, but not sure how much truth there is to that. Any input is appreciated. [/QUOTE]
