Hi folks!
Just wanted to reintroduce myself.. I used to regularly log in to the forums here, but over time I forgot my password and had gotten busy. Luckily, I re-found my password and have logged in once more!
I'm a general-level falconer from Missouri, and I've flown three Red-Tailed Hawks and two American Kestrels so far since I had obtained my permits in 2007. I've had the most success with flying Red-Tails at fox squirrels and grey squirrels, but I've also taken cottontail and swamp rabbits via Red-Tail, as well as small avian quarry, mostly house sparrows, via Kestrel. I'm currently finishing my last year of university and will be graduating next year with my bachelors in Biology with an emphasis in ecology and wildlife conservation and a minor in sociology. Hoping to fly again next fall (really leaning towards a squirrel-hawkin' Red-Tailed again, but we'll see!); can't wait!
Hope you all are doing splendidly, your birds are flying high and your game bags are full!
