I caught one with a little 26oz male back in 98 in Georgia. He slammed it in a squirrel nest and couldnt pull it out after a few minutes my female redtail came over and grabbed it too, still took a couple more minutes for both of them to pull it out of the tree. Have to say it was pretty gross on the ground lay there with nasty green feces squeezing out its ass like zombie toothpaste! The birds didnt seem to mind and were happy to eat it. They do have a set of teeth on them but the redtails seem to handle them easy enough not much of a fight to them.
