RE: speaking of animals
ORIGINAL: mossbergman11/OH well he free ranges them during the day, and thats when they kill them. they were on vacation one time and when they got back; all 30 of their chickens were dead. so the hawks are a big problem and i think hes only killed one or 2. he takes pot shots at them with a .22 (i know, another stupid thing) and almost always misses. hes a dumb -CC |

ORIGINAL: daddyslittlegirl You can use one to hunt with here if you are a licensed falconer and have trained under a licensed falconer. The bird has to be captive bred. Killing or molesting a wild raptor in any way means jail time in Michigan. -CC |

RE: speaking of animals
The point CC (and as well asBowman)were pointing out, was that your friend should make compromises, which is not letting them 'free range' and keep them in pen so they do not get plunked by my beloved Red T Hawk :)
(assuming 'free ranges' does in fact mean running out in open) I found this regarding killing Red T Hawks in Ohio http://www.dnr.state.oh.us/Home/species_a_to_z/SpeciesGuideIndex/redtailedhawk/tabid/6916/Default.aspx |
RE: speaking of animals

RE: speaking of animals
It really isn't hard to make something forthe chickenswith T-posts and chicken wire. I know its not you shooting hawks, but just a suggestion for your buddy. Butler county is only about 25 minutes up the highway, I would be happy to donate an old plywood coop. I just don't like the fact that redtail hawks are being shot. I understand the free-range deal with the chickens, we have free range guinea hens..But maybe there is another way so that he doesn't shoot hawks

RE: speaking of animals
sprinkle cayann(sp??) pepper all over your chickens!!!! The hawks wont like it anymore!

Red Hawk understands what everyone is trying to say The point CC (and as well as Bowman) were pointing out, was that your friend should make compromises, which is not letting them 'free range' and keep them in pen so they do not get plunked by my beloved Red T Hawk |
RE: speaking of animals
you do realize that this whole area would need a TOP ON IT and that would be very time consuming and costly. if i were him id just get one of those hawkers license or whatever you were talking about so he can legally kill them when they kill his chickens. or just make them not free range.
