I think he has a little schmutz on his beak. ;)
Seriously, nice job and very freaking cool! It would be neat to see you guys work, live.
So if cottontails are possible, how about piglets?
We need the pix here FIRST when you reach that landmark with him.I have seen pics of piglets that were taken by hawks.
So absolutely it can be done.
I mean these guys kill jack rabbits, so a piglet is nothing.
But I think momma pig might have something to say about that.
That's the caveats.
Believe it or not that could, in theory, be done.I think you need to train one to locate hogs so we can go kill'em. pretty cool!
