Discouraging hawks?

Skeet, I don't know how old you are but Raptors have been protected by Federal law since at least back in the 30s. The Great Horned Owl was the last raptor added in 1972 as I remember, the day of the "chicken hawk" is long gone and doubt if it will ever return. In the grand scheme of bird and small mamal populations raptors are not the reason for low populations. All we have to do is look in the mirror to find the culpirt.
