My lease is 6 miles west of Priddy (which is right around the area the OP was at). I see them pretty much every time I'm out there.

Have you been on that lease long. We used to stop at Hohertz store and get "old Lady Hohertz" to fix us a ham sandwich. We really miss her, she was the real deal. She passed a few years ago. Her ranch is the one on 16 just north of town with the 3 crosses up on the top of the hill.

Been out there 8 years. I didn't realized she passed away. Used to go there all the time and then it was closed. She was funny, the first I time I went there she didn't care to serve me. She thought I was just passing through. The next time I went and we starting to BS and she ended up hooking me up with her special stash of bacon and summer sausage (I was picking up the essentials). Now I go to the gas station and it serves some pretty good food.

I was upset the beverage bank closed down too, but the toddy house isn't too far and good people.

We see Cara Caras just north of Pflugerville, near Austin, fairly often. That's not too far from FmRmLmBm's location in Thrall.

She was always like that. Started off cranky and then did you right. We enjoyed that about her. I didn't know the new place had food. We'll have to try that out. Ya'll see some big deer around there?

That may be the same pair I saw this past weekend. Our lease is on 573, which is west of Hwy 16. They seem to migrate to the area each year and don't see them during the spring or summer.

We have them in Mason/Menard counties. I do not recall them until about ten years ago, they may have been around but I wasn't aware of what they were.
Near Laredo I shot a deer and was going to give him the customary 30 minutes wait before I went to get him. The cara caras were on him less than 5 minutes. I had to go shoo them away.
The next day I was camoed out in some brush watching a sendero when two of them landed on the ground at my feet. They walked around for 15 minutes, getting within 2-3 feet of me and watching me closely. I think they were wondering if I was edible. Aggressive birds.

We have them east.of houston as well

Mexkin Buzzards......

I've got one that has been hanging around for a few months now in N Van Zandt County. Cool birds!

was back in the mid-late 90's but saw them in Hunt Co while working bailing hay.

Hunt San Saba and we have a lot of them.

They are bad news.

Very true. You that think they are cute will live to regret it.

Had about 50-60 on our lease in san saba county this year. We fed them well with all the hog and deer carcasses we disposed of in our "bone yard"!

I saw a pair today in Hunt County. I've seen over a dozen since deer season started.

Have seen quite a few in Navarro county this year.

Nothing made he happier that having about 2 dozen of them getting after a pile of 5 yotes I shot in Beeville. They are thick down there. Thick

We have a lot of them here on the coast. They eat more road kill and rattlesnakes than anything. Down here, they will harass pelicans headed to the nest with fish in their pouch until they drop the fish. FYI, the United States Migratory Bird Treaty Act protects Crested Caracaras as an endangered species. Whether they are actually endangered or not is debatable, but I don't think a federal judge will care. Just sayin...

I like to watch them. Don't get to see them often. They got the eyes out of my first nilgai before I could get there, even tho it was only an 80 yd walk. That's OK, I got him some glass ones.

Had one at the house in yesterday in Hunt County Royse City. Dogs were going crazy

We've seen them on the river at our house....They migrate I believe.We live on the clear fork of the brazos between South Bend and Eliasville.

lots in Bastrop, Caldwell counties,and others

...and I saw a pair this morning, too.
