yes its illegal,, its illegal to even scream at them, if you go by the letter of the law. its illegal to do ANYTHING to "disturb" them,, either in nest, or hunting.
BUT,, the paintball is what i preach,,, i think if people at least try that,, their not trying to "shoot ta kill"

I am ok busy and that is good LOL I know it won't kill a hawk but I thought ya might like to see the chippy LOL.

I live in wild bird central thanks to the raptor rescue turning their rescues out the back door instead of on state or federal land. Man I watch for them like a hawk LOL

Lost one to a hawk today. One pullet tried to defend the little sucker and got herself ripped to shreds.

I'll get a predation permit if I need to. Had to do that for the deer eating my orchard. I have a right to farm. I get permits to kill things that make that hard.

Twine sounds like a good idea. I don't have a paint gun and spent the money for one stitching up the pullet. That kind of bravery earned her a shot at survival.

Bottle rockets could be fun. I need a good paintball for the stray dogs anyway but I prefer permanent solutions.

they wont,, and cant give you a permit for a hawk.

Hmm then it's back to don't ask and don't tell. Cuz no hawk is taking out all my flock.

I was thinking i might like to make a chicken decoy. You know, one of those that moves a bit and just happens to be covered in tar, nails or fishhooks? Maybe the animals are getting uppity because people aren't out to get them anymore. We're just a bunch of cattle to them now. Not meaning they eat us, but we are as threatening as a herd of cows.... tied to a post..... hobbled and hornless......

That's a good idea. You know I had a fake rooster that was feathered and I just could not stand it so I sold it in my yard sale a few weeks a go maybe I should have kept it! Oh well
