Cowgirl8 You do as you please. I will keep on with I do. They may get one of mine but I have got lots of them. The more distance the bigger the gun. A 300 Winchester Mag will really reach out and touch them.
Maybe one day you'll find a Big Boy Jr and we all can spend days and days discussing him..Deepsouth":2lqud6vz said:I caught a baby sasquatch (bigfoot) about 20 years ago. I raised him in the woods behind the cow pasture. Over time the cows got use to him and he got attached to the cows. He got really protective of them which really was great for me. No dogs, coyotes or anything else would go near my cows. He would also chase the buzzards away. I always kept him hid the best I could because I didn't want the game wardens to take him away. One evening a strange dog was crossing the pasture during calving season. The cows got after the dog and was chasing him across the field when big boy spotted the commotion. Big boy is what I called him. Big boy began running after the cows to help them Chase the dog off. About that time a hunter was driving by my field and saw a dog and a herd of cows being chased by a bigfoot. He jumped out of his truck and shot big boy dead. He then came to the house and told me what had happened and that he had saved my dog and cows from the creature. I didn't even try to explain to him what had happened. I thanked him and told him I would take care of it. I buried big boy and have been fighting buzzards, coyotes and dogs ever since.

OMG, who are you...........finally someone who knows what they are talking about. There is another post where someone argued about getting permits, said i was crazy. We've thought about applying, but never followed through but we did have an official out.. Yeah, talking about killing a protected bird on the internet just shows how smart these guys are. We were told buy the USFWS that we could make effigies so i did and it made no difference. I've found the only way i can control them is to keep anything they want to eat invisible. Our loss was 0 this year, but did almost lose one to infection after getting a peck on his tongue as he was being born. Can you believe that one fella here said that the way his friend caught them was by digging a deep hole and dumping dead vultures in it. Said the live ones go down in the hole. He made this up because he said keeping afterbirths picked up was worthless and that i was dumping them down animal holes was even stupider...lolAndyva":126z8dgl said:Well, thanks to the Migratory Bird Act of 1918, it is a federal violation to so much as ruffle a feather. They will issue permits, but you have to go through USFWS. Get caught shooting one without a permit and it will cost you more than a calf. If I were to take care of such problems in house, I wouldn't say anything about it to anyone I didn't know well, definitely not on the internet. Some of the peoples that enforce those kinds of laws are getting more lazy these days and prefer surfing the web to traipsing around in tick-infested woods to get their quota. Not trying to argue with anyone, just pointing out where you stand, from a legal perspective. The dead buzzard trick has been scientifically proven to keep them away. You can actually buy "buzzard effigies", (fake dead buzzards) for that purpose. Other non lethal options include flash-bang devices, I think they call them bird-bangers, shoot them out of a 12 Ga. Not very effective. If you can find the roost, they like pines, somewhere with a good view, you can slip in there real quiet before daylight, this is how you get the hoard. What you do once your in there I'll leave to imagination. If you just want to move them out, a laser pointer freaks them out, particularly a green laser pointer. They cant tolerate that flashing on their feathers. Works on waterfowl too. Might be a good option for anybody close to town, to move out the scouts, make them uncomfortable, go hang out some place else. Not leaving afterbirth laying around will help, too, probably the best thing you can do. We are fortunate enough not to have too many up here, and just in summer.

Last month he was in our neighbor's pasture protecting a cow and her calf. He is a great dog.
