Most critters that they catch and put them chippies in usually have a leg band too.... cept wolfies. Oh and if'n it's an owl...it will probably be a spotted owl that would have a chippie
Now I know this ain't politically correct but in my opinion...we have wwwaaayyyy too many owls now days. Just my feelings ya understand. Same with hawks. Back when we used DDT in this country the populations of raptors was down...but it sure ain't now. Hey GOB...I know you like huntin skwerls. Them horned owls eat skwerls big time. So if'n ya see one...ya know he is a depredator. Plug 'im. Waaayyy back yonder I had me a crippled horned owl. Nastiest disposition of any bird I ever did see. Hard to keep fed up too. I almost shot all the skwerls in a 5 acre woods keepin him fed up.. He mighta been a bad dispositioned bird cause I used him for crow shootin. He didn't seem to like them too much
...er maybe it was the shootin around him
Nah...it was the crows
