No, it's not legal. It's black vultures that kill live animals, not turkey vultures. Both black and turkey vultures eat dead animals.Nite Hawk":30l9n6cw said:Is it legal to poison the birds??

Sure, you could do that and as soon as a piece falls on the ground and somebody's pet dog eats it and dies and tests positive for temik there'll be a federal investigation.colleen":2fssw0jz said:Could you poison them? Set out something dead with a little something extra inside, up high so dogs or other animals can't get to it.
We've only had a coule of generic turkey vultures haning around. Tonight on the news they had a stroy about thousands of them roosting at Table Rock dam and the damage their droppings are doing.denvermartinfarms":5vozvsc0 said:Had not really noticed until reading this, but there are more around here than normal to.

I know the buzzards down south will harass/maim/kill calves, but turkey vultures play an important role as clean up crew and are harmless to your cattle.J&D Cattle":2zg4g2ri said:dun":2zg4g2ri said:We've only had a coule of generic turkey vultures haning around.

I saw that too, they're trying to scare the things off and might put spikes on the dam so they can't roost??? I'll be taking CB's advise if they bother me or my cattle.
