RE: why you see more hawks
Hawks are a big contributor to the decline of upland game in my area. I' m sure that if the KDWP could pass a law to have controlled shooting on the nuisance hawk, the would. But the laws, and anti-hunters will never let them do so. It' s kind of a lose, lose situation when it comes to birds of prey vs. uplands birds. Gets worse everyday, and nothing legally we can do about it!
