Dave, I used to hog hunt in the Arbuckle Mountains of central OK. Almost every time I would shoot a pig and begin field dressing it, the buzzards would begin to circle. It was obvious they knew what was going on. I recall shooting a 200-pound sow one morning and cutting off the hams and backstraps. I came back by the spot in late afternoon and the carcass was completely stripped clean.

My wife and I birded Lake Overholser in OK County yesterday and saw a lot of turkey vultures. This shot behind the dam has me worried about a NASCAR fan.
