Discouraging hawks?

[Larryjk]

Nulle, I know the facts of life on hawks, eagles, etc. I used to have aspen trees on my yard that the deer were killing. I told the game warden I was going to shoot them in the arse with rock salt for doing that. She said she would arrest me for shooting in twon and harrassing wildlife. I told her she didn't understand; that I had no intention of inviting her to watch. I think the same would apply to shooting a hawk in the rear end with a pellet gun --- or a shotgun as Skeet suggests.
