Alka Seltzer tabs work on sea gulls; why not buzzards?

I have also heard of people building large traps. Same principal as a crawfish trap and catching them.

I hear after you catch the first go round leave a couple in the trap and they will really fill it up.

I have heard of these traps catching over 100 in a couple of days.

Once again, I have only heard about the above mentioned.

I would shoot them. The only thing that comes to my mind is you've already said something to the game warden about this problem and if he is in the area of your land when you're knocking down feathers then he will know what is going on and you'll get a ticket.

I heard creating an effigy of one or two is the best way to keep them away. They don't like seeing dead versions of themselves.

Did you see any of this actually happen?

Half a tree fell on our house last year. I'd seen some squirrels in it the day before so I assume they chewed it in half.

I'm not saying buzzards didn't eat your blind, but it seems unlikely to me.

Well I noticed that a ton of them flew off as we were headed in that direction of my blind but I just thought they were taking off because they were just hanging out and heard the 4-wheeler

We have other more expensive blinds down there and none of them have been messed with so I know it wasn't stolen. The bag the foldout chair was drug about 15 ft from where the blind had been and it had holes all in it.

And there was white buzzard crap all over the ground where the blind had been so unless a gaggle of lunatic turkeys got in there, then yes it was the buzzards.

And the foam out of the Cat bulldozer seat was eaten by the buzzards too. And my gramps actually showed up to the land and saw about 15 buzzards were sitting in the seat and on the dash of the dozer. And about 50 more on the ground around it. There was foam all over the ground by the dozer. I mean How much proof do u need? The game warden told us they eat roofing shingles. I wouldn't put it past them to eat a ground blind.

If you want me to prove it to you, why don't you meet me down there with a $40 Walmart blind that you buy and I'll test my theory.

Did they chew it up with their teeth?



Did they swallow the poles too? Or did it not have any?
