Just that they hang around in family groups and you always catch the wrong bird. You need to have several BCs and pigeons harnessed so you can keep throwing traps. Plus they are not near as many as red tails so you will cover thousands of miles to see very many passage birds on some trips.

You can buy a non-resident license to trap one bird.  |

Some people are willing to pay all the $ for a wild caught bird. Some guys I know drove down from PA 30 hrs to go trapping in south TX. Factor in the permit, gas, hotel and your talking $600+ per bird not to mention that you are not garanteed to trap one. I've also heard that Coulson is up to $600 for CB regardless of sex.

You will normally log a lot of miles and several days to trap a passage harris. Out if three I know of trapped this year the average time was 2days trapping and about 700 miles. ET

Weasel
Why does Texas restrict trapping hawks in the southwestern counties around ElPasco and east of that location?

Not entirely sure. It may be because there are more protected and endangered species in that area than in others such as the peregrines.

Because it is home to the Aplomado Falcon, Gold Eagle and breeding Peregrins.

Just North of El Paso you hit the high desert with lots of Mule deer, coyotes, quail and turkey. Same southeast but around El paso it is mostly rabbits and coyotes. Not much else can survive there.
