[QUOTE="Nite Hawk, post: 969460, member: 18682"] We never had turkey vultures before, but back in about the 1980s they started moving into southern B.C. and have continued moving north and now from time to time we see them once in a while here in the Cariboo area, and they are definately turkey vultures for those who would question we were seeing correctly. Some ranchers have had some problems in our area ( thankfully not too often) with extremely large ravens killing calves, by driving their large beak into the eye sockets of newborn calves. Some of the ravens around here can get very large, not sure what specie it is, but they are BIG. We have a decent amount of bald eagles, but only ever heard of them picking up fawns and rumors of lambs, but they can get very very large, so wouldn't put it past them going after very small calves. Most of our predator problems are of the 4 legged kind, bears, cougars, wolves, coyotes. Sounds like you guys have your hands full with the volume of vultures. Is it legal to poison the birds??
