Black vultures don’t move around much, they actually live in related social groups, they are heavier than turkey vultures and not as good at soaring without strong thermals. Given strong thermals they soar higher and faster than Turkey vultures. They are spreading north and increasing in many places, even in the South.

Right now they are found as far north as Southern NY/Southern New England and Southern PA across to S. Arkansas, SE Kansas and the Eastern 2/3,of Oklahoma and TX. Also parts of S.Arizona. Still absent from most of the West.

Turkey vultures, being lighter in weight with longer wings can get by in cooler climates, in summer they are found across N.America to S. Canada, retreat to a range much like that of black vulture in winter. Being more solitary and able to locate carrion by smell, they are better at surviving in desert areas where there are fewer animals per unit area to provide carrion.

Both species have benefitted enormously from the establishment of our road network.

I have noticed they have moved into south central Iowa. I didn't see them 2 years ago.

We? You got a mouse in your pocket?


I only understand some of your posts dan and that includes back when you were still on accurate reloading.


Good memory? Haven't been on AR in over a decade, closer to to two actually.

0+0 = 0 That's what 00 Buck is good for. -Hint-
#4 shot? Goose is dead.

Perhaps your knowledge of shotguns/patterns is deficient?

Not gut shot.



Nice shot .I have shot hogs with 00 buck, though do prefer the 15 pellet magnum load. Some do keep running though, can be difficult in a bouncing vehicle. Check my driving to the hunt thread on the Aussie forum.

And #4 shot, goose is dead? Ah, I forgot, every shot downs the bird and there are no misses in internet land. Or where it misses, NO stray pellets ever still hit the bird. Its all in the technique I guess wink
