    i own the posted hill, if they are on it, they are trespassing. guess 150 yards from occupied buildings doesn't really mean anything if you miss your shot and within a mile and 1/2.........--as far as the red tail hawk--it is illegal to shoot them(beautiful birds they are and they need to eat...
