We got them everyday, year round.Strangely, no turkey vultures yet this spring. Mr Pig is still sitting on the vulture alter and not a nibble after several days.
YummyHello everyone,
I shot two squirrels yesterday while shooting my paper targets. I did not pick them up because I knew my local Turkey Vultures would need a snack to day. It beats the heck out of me how they can find a small dead animal in the middle of a National Forrest.

sling shot and small fire crackers will do it , OR a cheap short barrel C02 pistol / no ammo / just noiseThey are not clean birds. Their poop covers everything. I used to climb towers in the midwest and everything towards the top of the towers were covered with what looks like spilled dirty white paint. Some cities applied for fed permission to chase away these protected birds from city communication towers because of maintenance issues. The feds always said no.
