What is remarkable is that the specific species that may be taken....redtails and goshawks...are specifically mentioned in state law as opposed to an administrative decision that could be reviewed annually to ensure that redtail and goshawk populations are stable enough for taking. The state indicates the goshawk is a declining species here with perhaps 20 breeding pairs. Including the goshawk as a takable species seems like a significant oversight in the law. If anyone has more info on this please contact me offline.
