tough birds to hit
so the poll was pretty small, perhaps others have opinions on a wider swath of answers
Hardest- to getting easy
Turkey vultures , although slow flying , the thermals carry them high, perhaps 2 shot, full choke
Golden eagles, big boned birds, and high flying, classic Ithaca mag 10
Red tail hawk, a medium sized bird, might be Imp mod. 4 shot
Marsh hawk, low and slow, reminds me of sea gulls, Spanish 28 gauge , side by side work.
I am kidding, thought this might get a laugh late at night!
HOWEVER I do have a serious question, why in America we take any and all land predators , coyotes, fox, skunk, raccoon, virtually no closed season, and ALL bird predators are always off limits... seems inconsistent in the greater scheme of things.... I know it has been that way since the 1950's or so, but that DOES not explain the logic, or frankly lack of logic...
