UTR, they are unbelievable down here. We have about 50 buzzards that return every year like clockwork knowing what is coming. They will clean a deer in a days time with just 5 or 6 of them. We have to get the dead deer out of the field because the buzzards will clear a half acre of beans right off while eating. The dead snags around here right now are loaded with buzzards that are so fat that they cant hardly fly.CF
