[HawkinCrazy]

My wife and I will be going. Hopefully I'll have my passage prairie by then. Not having the best of luck down here in AZ. Hope to meet you all in person!

Is this why NAFA meets are never in dry counties? confusedd

[Ken S.]

I'll be there... probably going to bring a pair of HH's, but mainly I want to focus on working with my dogs. I've got a new GSP puppy and a 2 yr old GSP, hoping to get them a LOT of time in the field and have some fun.

@Fred - I've got a few bottles of bourbon to bring along too, and some favorite beer, etc.

[JeffNH]

I'll be going as well. Can't wait!

[Captain Gizmo]

Of course. We can't get as good a deal from the hotel because they aren't figuring in the profits from the bar.

I was looking at the Non-resident 5-day license online, and it says that it isn't valid for quail, but I don't see an option on there to purchase a license for quail, except for perhaps the NR hunt license, which is $142. Is that the only option for hawking quail, or am I missing something?

[raptrlvr]

Fred, can you post a link for the registration

[FredFogg]

Fred, can you post a link for the registration

Jim, I think you have to be logged into the site before this link will work.
The top of the page should have a link to click to register.

Fred, I thought you were going for a 'big' female RT this year??

[FredFogg]

I was, but Peetie was the biggest bird I trapped. Next year I am going ridge trapping with Dave! LOL

I know the meet is the 13th-18th is anyone flying the 11th,12th,13th? May try to fly up just for that weekend. I am in school and can't take weekdays off. I would love to see others fly their birds.

[Mitch W]

I plan to attend the meet, and look forward to seeing everyone. I will be taking my Albidus gos and hopefully thinning out the rabbit and quail population a bit. We had the OFA meet at the meet location in Elk city this past weekend. It looks like game numbers should be good for the meet. We saw lots of cottontails and quail and some jacks. The ponds had water and I expect duck hawking should be good for the meet.

[jjohnsonfalconry]

I'll be out there with my first year goshawk, and my 4 time intermewd red tail.

Hi Nick,

you will find most are coming in on that Friday or Saturday before the meet. There will be plenty of falconers who will be out hunting.

Okay great! May have to come just for the weekend then!

[ClaytonBoyd84]

I decided to make the trip. Will be brining my imprint Finnish tiercel gos. He has about 30 crows under his belt this season.

I haven't been to a meet..... no idea what to expect.

Got to love photo bucket. Keeps posting same image....

[HawkinCrazy]

It'll be my first as well. Though no bird to fly yet, we'll see what the next couple of weekends bring.

[Captain Gizmo]

I will be attending the NAFA meet. Plan for the Cheap Beep Project is to build transmitters on Thursday afternoon. Video for the first hour, then heat up the irons and just do it. DIY receiving antenna workshop if there is enough interest.

I plan to travel on the 12th and arrive the afternoon of the 13th. Out of Phoenix to Flagstaff and then East 40 all the way, with an overnight stop somewhere in New Mexico.

Available seats and space for a couple of giant hoods or other personals under the camper shell if anyone is looking for a ride or needs some stuff hauled.

Regards,

Thomas of the Desert

Anyone still looking for a room? I have a spare bed at the Comfort Inn from Saturday to Saturday. Looking to split cost.
