Things to watch out for

[Falcon Boy]

With the season coming up, i thought it'd be a good idea for people to make a list of things to watch for when hawking. I was informed today by T78 [thanks!] of a disease which CT's and Jacks can carry that can be passed to humans. To read up on it, follow this link-

And from personal experience, watch for rattlesnakes if you live in that part of the country. I had a close call last week.

Feel free to add your own things to watch for!

[falco]

Gun hunters, wire fences, and other birds of prey.

[Deleted]

Crows, skunks, rivers or creeks that can't be waded through

[kenbro77]

People with chicken pens that have adjoining property to where you hunt.

[Tiercel78]

Feral cats or any cat for that matter. The scratches and bites from a cats usally get septic and the birds usally die when that happens.

[johnh]

Dangerous power poles and transformers.

Rattlesnake populations are up this year. In three years living here I never saw one near our house, this year I've had to kill two just out the front door.

There are a couple of goldens hanging around last month. One juvi and an adult. What a great sight. Juvi soaring about 40 feet up, turned the corner and an adult flushed from the field about 15 feet from the road carrying what looked like a small dog.
