You cannot "pursue, hunt, take, capture, kill, attempt to take, capture or kill, possess, offer for sale, sell, offer to purchase, purchase, deliver for shipment, ship, cause to be shipped, deliver for transportation, transport, cause to be transported, carry, or cause to be carried by any means whatever, receive for shipment, transportation or carriage, or export, at any time, or in any manner, any listed bird . . . or any part, nest, or egg of any such bird." all raptors Are on that list.

Btw, that means that if you picked up one of the feathers, you broke the law. Federal law.

Well, since Koda seems to have eaten the evidence, I would say this has all been a fun hypothetical discussion

Good girl Koda, shame you don't live closer, would Boss like to meet you!

One feather is all it takes, and from what I hear, there is a whole carcass lol

Good boy Koda!

The "touching, carrying, killing", etc. was perpetrated by a DOG, not a person! I think the Law understands that nature will undoubtedly take its course, in some instances... and that PETS will act according to their own natural instincts, as opposed to the morals of their owners.

In short, the "law of the wild" must override the "laws of people". There's no need to fear punishment for an act which by all accounts falls under Darwinian "survival of the fittest". The bird simply flew too slowly to escape the dog... end of story.

Not anymore... Koda ate it. So unless they want to scoop the poop, there is no evidence...

There are always a few authorities out there who try as hard as they can to be unreasonable. But in general, I can imagine there would be any trouble. It's not like the dog is trained to go out, hunt down, and bring back raptors. The bird got too close, the dog killed it, the dog ate it, the end.

All I was sayin. Is be' careful to the OP, one feather will get you in Federal trouble.

no, not really. Not if a dog killed it while the bird was attacking her livestock...There is no way that would really happen. Sorry..
If SHE killed it..then yes...but thats not what happend.
