Hello!
Last season I purchased a few back issues of American Falconry, and I noticed an article "Bushytail tale"....I immediately knew your name sounded familiar from on here! SO I looked you up again to say HI! And "good work". I enjoyed your hunting story!
Also, my sister in law has moved up near you....in the N. KC area...she's a Pharm. D @ a local hospital there, and we sometimes get the chance to visit her. Next time I do, I will PM you, incase you need someone to beat the brush while you hunt. I have wondered a bit about HH in Missouri, and if they do alright here. Would love to chat about that topic sometime!

Best advise I can give you is to start with a good sponsor and a fresh trapped red tail. You deserve the experience. I am currently hunting a harris and am enjoying it. I wouldn't trade my redtail experiences for the use of any harris. BP

hi! bobpayne.
thanks for the comment. yes i was talking about cb hh. if i can get buy one and use it as an apprentice bird instead of starting with a kestrel or a rt?

I certainly understand what you are saying, it is hard to give up the relationship I have with my Harris. We've been hunting budies for 5 seasons. Gong to see if this year my 22 yr old falconer son will hack an coop for me while I'm working . I think I can give up the peregrine? Bob

I love accipiters the best. I fly Harris cause of my busy family/work life.

Sorry with all the walking we got up no game, maybe next time. Wish me luck getting a dog with a good nose. Bob

bob thanks for allowing me to go hunting with you,i will be looking forward to hearing from you,thank for all your help joe
