@Max20 That would be kool for kids to hunt these birds and practice calling them out. Prepares them for the wild Turkey hunts. 😆 ---

> “So the masses don’t need to worry, that 1,000-ish people can make the big decisions. > Our current administration isn’t polling to see if their policies are helping the people the govern.” I don’t know why you would suggest that. We the people elect government representatives to affect policies that we want. The polling is often done by all kinds of researchers for various things. We are making the decision by the choices we make when voting. I bring up the polling on conservation simply to demonstrate why so many politicians right and left often support conservation efforts. Most of their constituents seem to favor conservation policies of some kind or another. Many -most it would seem- Americans, right or left favor protecting our natural heritage, and conserving endangered species. ---

Yup, I can see a bunch of youth hunters and adults mistaking one for the other. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/dd_dev/original/3X/0/e/0ea23b4f57aab05ad266497cae4e81ee3bbe2dac.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/dd_dev/original/3X/b/c/bc073bf7f96cfb4d159465a4916785971c0c7c7f.jpeg) ---

> [@Max20](#): > > I don’t know why you would suggest that. We the people elect government representatives to affect policies that we want Once in office they could care less about what the voter wants until it’s election time again. Sure, people worried about conservation will poll, and someone will lobby for a change but if it is not going to be in the best interests of the elected then it falls on deaf ears. Seems that violent protesters are getting more done than polls. ---

That would be my worry. They can be quite similar looking if one is not being careful. ---

 If it fails, 🙄 then it fails. HERE! HERE! If it Thrives it should Live! If anything else can’t make it they cease to exist. Like the POOR Migrants now filling Albuquerque’s Morgue (last count was (89) they drag the sack of bones to the morgue and spend Hundreds of Thousands trying to identify each one so the migrants family can get ‘closure’. Bull-Feathers! another bunch of .gov stoopid S\*\*\* If you don’t hear from the Illegal Trespasser he/she is DEAD! LEAVE THE OWL’S ALONE! We have a couple out here and they are so cool (and HUGE) AT dusk when they go looking for their dinner they silently pass overhead like a Stealth Bomber
One of the most awesome sights I have ever seen. Just Mi dos peso’s Just make sure the cat’s are inside by then

As long as they fly across the border unlawfully I might understand as long as they open season on the other animals that do it also, nomzayn? ---

> [@BRUCE26](#): > > "Everywhere the spotted owl can live and thrive, barred owls can thrive and do even better,” USFWS wildlife biologist Katherine Fitzgerald recently told the [Seattle Times](https://phys.org/news/2023-12-feds-owl-pacific-northwest.html). Barred owls are bigger and more aggressive than northern spotted owls. They’re also better at finding food, and they have a more varied diet that includes insects, reptiles, and small mammals. And barred owls can displace spotted owls by attacking them when they get too close to their nests, [according to the USFWS](https://www.fws.gov/project/barred-owl-management). Hmmm 
 I think Darwin might have something to add to this. ---

I have a couple Great Horned owls in the trees next to my home. On calm night we can hear them hoot. ---

Not only does it fire the pallet, but the entire load of shot on said pallet. Recoil is noticeably greater than from a 12g shotgun, so be prepared when firing it. đŸ•¶ ---
