Red Raven

Great stories, but chaps, if you are using lead shot never allow a raptor to eat the birds. Cover them or retrieve them quickly. It only takes a tiny piece of lead to destroy a bird as big as a Bald Eagle, be responsible in your shooting. http://www.wkbt.com/Global/story.asp?S=11870530 Raptors are your allies when it comes to pest control. Most shot passes through a pigeon if shot from close enough, but there is always that slim chance one doesn't.
