Gov Wants Barred Owls Killed

[shoot4fun]

I remember Rush talking with a guy from your area and said a spotted tasted like a cross between an eagle and a chicken or something like that.. Funny a heck..
Shooting owls at night.. What a joke...

It tastes like a cross between Bald Eagle & Hooping Crane!

I'm thinking shooting these bstds would be a "hoot!"

US Government wants 500,000 owls to be shot dead in cull

13,397 barred owls will be killed every year in the first decade, 16,303 a year in the second, and 17,390 birds annually in the third.

www.newsweek.com

The article says nothing about SHOOTING Barred Owls! They will likely put out buckets of poison with signs that read "Barred Owls Only" so no other wildlife or Yetis are killed.
The REAL reason for the massacre is the Big Guy said a Barred Owl set his house on fire and took a dump on his Corvette.

Deep fried owl and chicken hawk what a treat. Doug

I read the article about the Barred Owls being invasive and unwelcomed and then later realized it was the US Government the article was talking about, or did I miss something here. Started on the East Coast and now a problem on the West Coast

So it does, but they appear to only allow applications for depredations to landowners in affected areas.

Could always super glue a hook on a wire leader to a mouse….

There might be some occasional collateral damage.

Wrong just wrong

Just maybe we could get some of these intelligent individuals to go for a lil walk at midnight and show us exactly what they want.
Mt Pitt in the back looking S.
Just a lil bit over 9000' and we start at sea level.

In nature species are constantly attempting to expand their range and become reproductively established. It appears that the Feds have arbitrary used the term "invasive" to describe a natural process. Barred owls were not relocated or escaped in the NW to become established. The article even states that they have been expanding their range and numbers since the 1950's. The downfall of the Spotted Owl was due to habitat fragmentation and loss of mature forests by humans, not by Barred Owls. And let's face it. When it comes to screwing things up, we are the best! I just don't see a lot of interest in people wanting to go out and shoot owls, especially a species that is assisting in the downfall of the Spotted Owl, the most hated bird in the region, thanks again to the federal government.

There is another invasive species that is fucking up Oregon that needs culling much more than the poor owls. They dont mess with anyone and eat rats.

Sounds like the Californians we sent up there...hehehe

I lived in Cottage Grove during the 70s.

Kinda unbelievable how f#@$'d up Oregon has gotten in the past 50 years. San Fransisco, L.A., Seattle, none of them have anything on Portland, IMO. Guaranteed those owls are not going to any of those big cities...

Oregon is a huge state. There is one area that is f***d up bad. The rest is still fine and most areas better than the rest of the usa due to ur demographics. I was at my local gun shop today and a guy had bought 2 used 9mm pistols. The owner filled out the paper work and submitted. Not 10 min later he was approved and walked out with his new guns. Yup those gun haters in Oregon have us tied to a barrel.

Was pondering this and the quote from a commercial popped into my head...... "It's not nice to mess with mother nature".

While there are instances this needs done. I am suspicious this has been thought through with biased eyes.

The article says they are 'invasive.' How can that be? It flies. I call it nature...

It's not on the national invasive list, FWIW. Not sure if it even conforms to their definition of 'invasive.'
