    Never scene or heard of red headed buzzards getting after calves. Black headed is a different story. Typically they are just wanting the after birth but can get aggressive after a fresh calf.

      Buzzards

      Mexican eagles are tough on fawns and calves. They definitely hang out in deer pens when fawns are being born. They are the coyotes of the sky.

            Black headed ones are bad about killing calves

            Terminate with extreme prejudice

              The black headed ones are aggressive and are taken over, seeing less turkey buzzards around the central Texas area and that’s all I use to see.

                In fannin co I see the exact opposite. The red headed turkey vultures are the aggressive ones and I have seen them push the black headed ones away from a fresh kill and take it over. I have heard that the turkey vultures are very aggressive on newborn calves

                    had a rancher next to a deer lease I was on who had them coming in and killing his lambs as soon as they were born. He wanted me to shoot all I could. Never did, but I know he sure hated those things.

                      So is it a fact that the black headed vultures are open game if harassing livestock? We have the same issue at our place. They are bad.

                        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.
                        That's what I was going to suggest but I wasn't sure if a depredation permit would apply to buzzards. That's the route I'd take if that's the only legal option.

                        If you do I think you should find out where they roost and put the sneak on 'em at night with a .22 and a flashlight. Then shoot coyotes and other stuff off their carcasses. Then shoot more buzzards off of theirs. I betcha you could get things to smellin real nice around there.

                            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.
                            Lol, proper permission to be a free man. Come back to reality and realize that holds no weight in today's society tough talk.

                            Appreciate the info on the black headed buzzards and permits. I have some bird watching environmentalists on one side of me, and they would be calling a warden in a New York minute if they seen me busting a buzzard. Looks like there are ways to make sure my rear is covered, and not just using "being a free man" lol.

                                Apparently, the National Cattlemen's Beef Association has an active lobbying effort ongoing to get the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to issue broad open season on black vultures. Here's a link to an article, suggesting contacting the acting USFWS director and U.S. Representatives and Senators.

                                The Protected Black Vulture is at risk from Southern Cattlemen. The WIldlife agency says agressive birds are devestating livestock
