I was making a delivery one day and a hawk was soaring around. I didnt know what kind of hawk it was and asked a man who was also looking at it if he knew. He replied, it’d be a dead hawk if I had my gun. I said, you dont like hawks? He replied, I love them, rolled in flour and fried.
LOL.
I don’t think I’d eat one unless I was really hungry, but I can understand wanting to shoot them.
My experience is that among the ignorant hawk hating community, all hawks are “Chicken Hawks”
