Buzzards......

[redneckshadrap]

Boys I tell you when I'm wading my favorite stretch of water in Frankfort the dang buzzards are stacked up. I guess they're waiting on a man to fall and crack his head so they can pounce....

There's so many down there ...Is ther a permit of something you could get to thin them out some what?

I don't think you can get a buzzard permit. I too have noticed them stacking up on river banks during the hot months. I fish the Tennesse river in July and August. I've seen over a 100 at a time lining the trees on the bank. I see them working over dead fish on the banks too.

A good or not so good story. We were drift fishing for cats on the Tenn a few years ago. My friends were in the boat in front of us, they drifted around a tight bend and flushed about 50 buzzards off the ground and out of trees. I don't know if y'all know what an excited buzzard does or not, but they will throw up. This happened just as they flew over my friends boat, they nailed the boat with a bullseye!!! I can tell you this there is NOTHING on Earth that smells that bad!!! All I could do was hold my breath, my nose, my mouth and troll (quickly) upwind; then LMAO!!!!
It was bad, but as EZ said on another post last night, that is what friends are for!!!

Glad to see you posting Redneckshadrap! What part of eastern KY do you come from?

Try wading in the creek and come upon a treee that's ovehanging where you're wading. They feel the need to start target practice on you ....LOL!!!!Also those dang things are so big that their weight can sometimes breakoff good sized dead limbs when they take off. So watch you noggins.

This summer a young buzzard damaged a wing, after seeing it in the same place for three days I caught it and boxed it until kdfw came and took it to someone in Pikeville who did rehab. I tried to feed it weiners and it wouldn't eat. The rehab person told me it had to be fed bloody meat. I ended up eating the hotdogs and he ate my steak! Sometimes life just ain't fair![;)]
