Discouraging hawks?

[skeet]

Oh Larry. I shot at the horned owls in the back yard trees lots of times. Drew feathers and nothing else..Finally the one I got(and used for crows) I crippled a wing on. He was surely PI**ED when I went to get him.. He healed up just fine ..only thing of any size on 'em is the head. I was a kid and didn't have a centerfire rifle.. I also have an old Southgate rifle..built obn a square bridge mauser action...also a 300..made in the very early 50's i think...Weatherby made rifles on any actions he could get at that time..or so I have been told. I even saw a Weatherby built on a Win 70 action..way back yonder. Yours had a unique serial number for certain.. Wish I had the foresight to keep the real neat rifles and shotguns I had in the past. Only ones i kept were some collectible Win pre war 70's One is in 7.65 Argentine..Cody museum said they only made about 10 of 'em. Told me if i wanted to sell it it would go for 5 figures easily..they wanted me to donate it. LOL..I also haqve an original Win 70 9mm bbl..never shot.

We have some horned owls here around the house but they are sure a lot smaller than the ones we had back there in Md. They also don't make the same kind of calls
