Title: Vultures
Post by: JohnP on May 17, 2014, 09:53:40 AM
Can vultures smell?  “I” think they can and to test my theory we took a dead jack and completely covered it with branches, leaves, grass, etc.  Within hours the vultures had discovered it and had a late afternoon snack.  Amazing birds!

According to the PBS special I watched vultures have an encredible sense of smell. In fact the best on the planet. According to PBS anyway

Are they coming in close enough for your Crosman 1322 to reach out and touch em?

No way Jim.  They are a protected species and they do a dang good job of clean-up.
