LOL!   :D

My problem here is with mostly Bald Eagles and the occasional Golden Eagle.  A fair size difference between the chicken hawk.  And the potlickers just sit up in a tree and look at me.  Until recently.

I had thought (but for a second) about John\'s SSS solution.  But then thought again.  I can just imagine the Fed\'s showing up at my door one day and saying, \"Uh, Mister Van Blaricome, do you mind if we take a little look at the corner of your property?  See we got this transmitter on a Bald Eagle that hasn\'t moved in a couple of weeks.\"  Or maybe, \"Uh, Mr. Van Blaricome can you explain this shallow grave at the back of your property with a dead eagle in it?\"

So for now I am content with blowing a canned air horn or popping off a shotgun into the air.  I\'ve heard tell that paint guns work wonders though.  Gonna have to look at maybe one as a Christmas present to myself.

God Bless,

Paul:
  My opinion is we don\'t need any of them to be breeders that don\'t know the difference between, chickens and what they are suppose to eat snakes, mice, rats, gophers, etc...
  SSS!!!

LOL! I\'ve also heard of using fireworks to scare them off, assuming they\'re legal where you are.

Knock on wood I haven\'t had a problem, although I have lots of hawks & owls around, and even the occasional eagle. I have a family of broad wings who\'ve pretty much taken up residence (although they\'re supposed to be migratory), but they are a small species & eat mostly mice & lizards.

I\'m w/Royce on SSS - I don\'t have anything here that\'s worth 6 months in jail. Well, nothing a hawk can carry off, anyway.  ;) I like Jerry\'s idea - people who work with raptors are generally happy to do what they can to keep a bird out of trouble.

Jess, you haven\'t posted anything since this - how bad did he get you?  :(
