    How not to write a post dealing with breaking a law and not implicate yourself.
    Not breaking a law protecting my property. And by not advertising it there’s no reason for a single person to be concerned what I do

          Thanks JR warden!

          I’m offering an option that 100% of real world farmers use that is sort of an unwritten blind eye.

          But sure getting a &$&%^ ing permit while your investment is being destroyed and waiting on government red tape is a great option as well!

            NO permit required to shoot the black headed buzzards. They are an invasive species out of mexico and not native to Texas. They are NOT protected. Red headed (Turkey Buzzards) are protected but they very rarely attack new born calves unless they are near death/lifeless in my experience.

              Man I’m sorry to here y’all have to deal with this, like it’s not hard enough as it is. Not sure I’d wait for a permit to protect my livelyhood either. Good luck OP and others in the cattle industry.

                I dealt with them too many times this spring while the calves were being born. It was the black headed buzzards. They get very aggressive going after calves. Some ranchers shoot em even though it’s illegal. It made me angry having to constantly fight em off. One morning while feeding, I drove up on a pair that was corned at a fence and pond. Usually the other new moms would join in and help fight the buzzards off. Not this time. There were a bunch trying to wear down or wait the momma out. Thankful I got there just in time before they pounced.

                  Something I didn’t know until this year is that eagles are scavengers also. Dumped hogs out of a trap. Next morning there were two bald eagles out there along with the buzzards and yotes.

                      Have not had a problem with buzzards but have had several dead calves from Mexican Eagles known also as Cara Cara
                      Found dead calves with eyes pecked out with a 5’ circle of blood around their head

I've already lost 1 calf to them, now I'm 2 short on counts today. I see red every time I drive up and see them. I remember one instance 2 years ago where I drove up on a cow with a new calf. There was a perfect circle of bare dirt around her from fighting buzzards. Her tongue was hanging out she was so tired from fighting them. Best part is they are protected so you can't do a darn thing about it.

                        Not true. You can do what's necessary, just don't go telling everybody. Dang sure don't go crying on the internet.

                        Or you can sit there wringing your hands, worried about the gov't and whether or not you have the proper permission to be a free man, while your newborn calves die.

                              You can get a depredation permit for them. Our friends raise Beefmaster cattle and they have one.
                              Last year, right before dove season opened the GW rolled up and asked if they were shooting dove. Nope! Just buzzards. Got permit, no problem.

                                It's still ok to not tell everything you do on the interweb. Just make sure your your coffee shoes don't start telling stories.
