This hawk is learning to stick around my place. Now he doesn't even fly away after I shoot. Pretty smart animal.

When I shoot at something I hope it doesn't fly away either.

I wouldn't trust that hawk. Looks shifty, may be a Gov't plant.

Agreed, that one eye looks like a camera

Are you killing the crows with lead shot?

Are you killing the crows with lead shot?

I see where you are goong with this... crows full of lead, hawk eats crow... etc etc.
We have been shooting crows on a farm near my home for 4 years now, we shoot 400-500 per season, the hawks, eagles and foxes clean them up and there are more hawks every year. They say the lead is bad for them but like I said there are more every year and they seem to come when the shooting starts!

Most of the crows I take are with my 10/22. Lead goes right through them.

Trap it, and make it into your own personal varmint catcher!
