I have heard about bright colored clothing helps, but I don't know.
We have tons of hawks, crows, owls, etc here. Early fall, we watched two babies learn to fly. We haven't seen them since.
We were told by a game warden a few years ago (one of our neighbors - we live out in the woods, so we really don't have a real neighbor - but he had pit bulls and a big wild cat killed all of his Pit Bulls, not at the same time)...anyway the game warden said that you could only kill something if you seen it attacking your animal or livestock, etc. That is crap because if you see it, it is too late! --well I think anyway!
Just like w/ rattlesnakes......we are bordered by national forsest and have been told that the park trades our local deer to somewhere in TX for rattlesnakes (as if we need more). They said that we aren't suppose to kill them because they are protected.......BUT.............I have risked fines and jail time because I don't want little Mojo to became a rattlesnakes meal!!!
I am all for animal rights, but I think your pets safety needs to come first!
Good luck w/ the hawks! I know they are good for keeping the rodents down and even snakes, but when times get hard, they will become a threat....well, they are to begin w/ I guess. |
I'd sure watch those rattle snakes in TX. My neice lost her Rockwiler (120 lb dog) from a rattle snake bit.
If they don't catch me, I didn't break the law. Yea, I have an attitude when it comes to my babies getting hurt!
