The black buzzards are invasive. They're aggressive and out compete and kill their competition.

Yes, and really bad on livestock farmers. In March of 2021 You can get a permit here in Missouri to kill them. I know in Texas, Indiana and Oklahoma they could be killed by a permit. Did not know in Missouri so I looked it up.

Smithvillesteve Posted January 29, 2023 Posted January 29, 2023 i think you are right Dutch. i think they are doing ok in certain parts of the state. i still hunt them in the spring on my buddies land outside of Stockton. He still has quite a few birds around his place. But generally i think the numbers are in decline. We will see.

bfishn Posted December 15, 2023 Posted December 15, 2023 Like these? They were all lined up for a shoebox-full of road kill. When a car passed, the lone 'eater' would fly to the back of the line, and the next one up would take his place. Pretty funny.
