It will kill anything a hawk would and eat anything listed on a buzzard's menu. Folklore
Legend has it that the ancient Aztec city of Tenochtilan (Mexico City) was built at the spot where a Crested Caracara lit upon a cactus, clutching a snake in its talons. Sources:

Paintball markers shoot latex balls filled with dye. The dye is harmless and washes out of clothes and hair, etc.
Essentially, you will be playing a game of "Capture the Flag." The object is to work as a team to stay alive (not hit by a paintball) while trying to capture the other team's flag.
All necessary equipment is provided. Contact us or click on the link for more details. | | Pointing Dog News | | | | | English Setter Puppies  We currently have English Setters available. These are field bred bird dogs and will make a wonderful addition to your family and hunting pleasure. We encourage you to come to WB Ranch and visit our new dogs. Contact Joel Williams at 800-WB-Ranch, joel@wbranch.com, or click on the link for more information. Stop wishing you had a dog to find those singles. | | Sporting Clays | | | | | Sporting Clays Tournament  The "Busting Bluebonnets"
