Buzzards are easier to get rid of than the geese. At least a buzzard knows when you don't want them around.

dont know the legal part about it..didnt give it much thought though, when they were looking at my cattle like a all you can stand buffett...
 
Gotcha.. Yes Sir I understand that and would do the same .. I was asking as far as whenever you see them can you legally shoot them to help control population.
 
We have lost 3 calves so far this year to the Mexican Buzzards. Hopefully that will be all we lose to them since our calving season should be over. I'm going up to the farm tomorrow to survey the situation.

thats bad to lose that many to em. im done calving and nothing dead and buried on the place.. thank God...
 
I am thinking maybe our buzzards here are different than you alls in the southern portion of the states or maybe im wrong as in different species maybe... IDK ?
 
I just checked out what we have here and this is what they said. Is this the same kind you have?

There are two species of vultures found in Virginia: the turkey vulture and the black vulture. Vultures (some call them buzzards) are scavenging birds that feed on the remains of dead animals.
The vulture has been perceived as a loathsome creature because of its disgusting feeding habits. We now know, however, that these somewhat unattractive birds play an important role in the removal of animal carcasses from our forests, fields and highways.They locate food by a combination of sight and scent and are protected by state and federal laws.
The turkey vulture is a large brown-black bird with a featherless red head, long tail and a wingspan of up to six feet.The black vulture is a smaller cousin with a black featherless head, shorter tail, white wing patches and a wingspan of four to five feet.Young turkey vultures have a black head their first year and can be confused with adult black vultures.By having no feathers on their heads both birds are able to stick their heads inside a carcass without fear of contaminating feathers and creating conditions for bacterial growth.
The birds on display at the museum are both adults and came from a wildlife rehabilitator in Virginia Beach. They are non-releasable due to wing injuries.

The Mexican Buzzard is a different type creature altogether than the native species from what I understand. They will kill prey and not just wait for something to die.
 
Ask CB or some of the guys in Texas about these creature Sky, they have been fighting them for years. My understanding is they are fairly new to northern Kentucky and as luck would have it there is a roost across the Ohio River from our farm that they tell me hosts a population of over 200 of them. I plan to look into that tomorrow.
