Default RE: Do hawks eat ducks?

Of course hawks kill ducks. I don't what percentage waterfowl make up a hawks diet but it can't be that much. I am not hawk fan and I know quite a few people who shoot them when they get the chance. I feel it is like having a predator free to kill whatever he wants including livestock like chickens. I believe I read and article of how a guy trapped a owl because it was killing his chickens but I can't remember what he did with the owl. In my opinion, the number or chicken and sparrow hawks are rising so fast it is actually hurting the upland game population but not as much as bobcats and foxes. If you don't trap,you should. At least get rid of the ground predators. Not much a duck or any small game for that matter can do when a hawk is overhead and fox is stalking it.

Without passion.....Why bother?
