Because the Trump Admin proposed to make it easier for development projects to incidentally take migratory birds
Speaking of buzzards.... on our place in Va, we have more issues with black vultures doing just what you describe than every other varmint put together. Can’t do nothing about those nasty things either. They fall in the same category as the bald eagles.Talk to the guys out west about the govt. They have bald eagles setting on fence posts like vultures waiting on cows to calve and then feed on them while they’re still alive, get help from USFWS Nope. But they have dozens of windmill farms out there and they have spent thousands trying to figure out how to keep them from grinding up those tuxedo buzzards.

It’s a damn shame you can’t lay waste to those misbegotten sons of b****es.
Contact USDA-APHIS-Wildlife Services up there. They can probably hook you up with an effigy to hang up where you’re having the problem.
We have in the past. They sent us a pattern and instructions to build one from the University of Kentucky.Contact USDA-APHIS-Wildlife Services up there. They can probably hook you up with an effigy to hang up where you’re having the problem.
Yeah, they had trouble with vultures here when they had a couple dairies right here close to the house. Nope they isn't anything that legally can be done about them but there are things that CAN be done about them or so that is what I heard through the grapevine.

Oh there are things that can be done but they’re kind of like spreading used motor oil on a gravel driveway to keep the dust down.... frowned uponYeah, they had trouble with vultures here when they had a couple dairies right here close to the house.

We built a couple of them, they weren’t really effective to begin with, and the became completely useless when several of the bastards attacked the effigies.
We’ve just had to become more vigilant, during calving season especially, and someone is almost constantly riding the pastures during daylight hours.
I’m honestly past the point of using an effigy.I’d call them back and request an actual taxidermy effigy. You’ll probably have to pay for it, but it works better.
Sometimes those dead calves create quite the fly problem....I’m honestly past the point of using an effigy.
The problem I have with the effigies is a cow will have her calf wherever she pleases, and not necessarily where the effigy will be effective( what little effect they might actually have).
They’re somewhat effective on keeping them from roosting somewhere. I don’t really have a roosting problem. I’ve got a landing in the middle of a pasture and ripping up a newborn calf problem.
Fair enough. Just trying to help.I’m honestly past the point of using an effigy.

I really do appreciate it, I’m just kind of frustrated with the whole “black vulture issue”Fair enough. Just trying to help.

I didn’t mean to sound unappreciative. I apologize if it came across that way.
