Wasn't sure where to post it but here's the link I thought it was interesting will definitely stir some feathers on both sides

US Government wants 500,000 owls to be shot dead in cull

13,397 barred owls will be killed every year in the first decade, 16,303 a year in the second, and 17,390 birds annually in the third.

I’ve heard some rumblings on this in the last few weeks.
I somewhat agree that the #’s need lowered on all our feathered predators, but the # seems somewhat high.

Interesting. How would one even begin to hunt an owl. Typical firearm hunting would be damn near impossible.

Red tails, but eagles would be a no bueno….
But I know some farmers/ranchers would disagree. As well as fish farms….

I've noticed a huge increase in redtail hawks over the last 10+ years. Just driving down the highway, it's easy to see a redtail sitting on a fence post or light pole every 6 to 10 miles. I've had them dive at my motion decoy, while calling coyotes, on many occasion.
