Anybody know the proper shot size for a California Condor?

TEHACHAPI, Calif. (AP) – Giant California condors are rare – but not at Cinda Mickols’ home. 

About 15 to 20 of the giant endangered birds have recently taken a liking to the house in the city of Tehachapi and have made quite a mess. Mickols’ daughter, Seana Quintero of San Francisco, began posting photos of the rowdy guests on Twitter.

  1. Tried to get a look at the critters but there was so much junk there. However I'll go out on a limb and suggest #4 buck for good measure.

  2. A Bofors 40 mm auto-gun will do the job.

  5. I use 4 on turkey, but that being California you would need something a little bigger to make up for not being allowed to use lead.

  6. Started to read the Twitter thread and I got tired of reading about how "my mother is the strongest/bravest/smartest/empowering woman I know."

  7. She should be proud that the birds have graced her property with their presence. (Sarcasm reading high.)

  8. Never again. Them damned condors are way to gamey for my taste, no matter how long you cook 'em.

  9. You'll be in big trouble in Kali if you shoot one. Stick to things that won't get you in trouble. Like burning down a police station.

    1. I can't believe that Californians keep worshiping a bird that's not going to make the evolutionary cut.

  11. I wonder if you can smoke or deep fry a condor? Probably tastes as bad as spotted owl.
