owl problem's

[CoyoteMan50]

any of you ADC Trapper's out there know the best way to catch a baby Guiena eating owl, he is a smart one can't get a shot at him or even get to see but just a glimps once and a while. I think it is a Great horned, didn't want to harm him but he is real killing all the man's Birds and he is getting really pissed, so any help with this would be Greatly appreciated.

Thank you

when I was at the beagle club, the ONLY legal solution available to us was to get a federal permit, use padded traps, then release it a set number of miles away from the capture site. this was some years ago, don't know what laws are now, but doubt they'd be less restrictive

best solution is keep the baby guineas under wire- as far as killing and/or removing the owl-
few options

ok Thanks steve, this is for my cousin not me. he ask me to get on one of these Trapping fourms and see what for answers I could get on this, but I agree with you Steve put them guineas in a pen or under wire, and I will be telling him to do so. Thanks again old Buddy.

Yes Larry owls are protected under birds of prey and you need a permit to do anything with them if you want to be legal. Each state is permitted so many annually, they can then reasses and ask for more relocating permits if they can proove to the feds why they need more of a certain species. Emergancies are handled a little differently, but to stay in the confines of the law one needs a relocating permit.

I wish I could "relocate" the Red Tail hawks sitting in trees every 100 yards I look at. LOL Good luck with the owl issue.
