RE: Do hawks eat ducks?
I don't know the proper name, but here we call them chicken hawks and yes I have seen them grab some mallard hens,guineas, and chickens. They also take a lot of snakes,rats,mice, and a lot of the quail I turn loose. I watched a couple guinea roosters fight one off one day that was trying to snack on a 4 month old guinea. I think we need to set some season dates up for them. An electronic caller brings them in within 20-30 yards (when crow hunting) in just a couple seconds. Bet you could really smack them with some hot number 8 lead.
