Hi Bill. It has been a while so I wanted to check in to say hello. Hope all is well with you and you are enjoying the falconry season. I still have me RT - she looks great with the red tail! I am back in school so trying my best to juggle family, career, school and falconry! Look forward to hearing from you my friend!

It was a great hunting day with Shera.I was hunting at railroad tracks things were going good ,we had 3 slips.Then we had a slip that send Shera across the tracks and here comes a train ,she nailed it on the other side of the tracks.I had to wait till the train passed.There was 30 cars and then some passed by.Then i went across the tracks she sill had the rabbit.We took care of it.Gave her a full crop.That was the longest train i had to wait for to go by.

Striker is the name that i gave him, he got his first rabbit with his falconer.Went hunt for 3 hours had one slip on the way back to the van and off the fist Striker went. Crashed in the high weeds and did his thing.YAHOOO Good to here from you. I forgot my camcorder at home so i did not get any pictures of it.STAY STRONG

Today Shera nailed #2 IT was a hard hunt.Weeds are high 5 to 6 foot high and that makes it hard to bind to the rabbit through the weeds.1 1/2 Hours of hunting many slip and she got her dinner.STAY STRONG

Had great time hunting today.Today hunting started for Falconers in IL. I got a Harris Hawk at the end of last season on 3-26-2011. So i had a short hunting time with my new Harris Hawk Shera, season went out on 3-31-2011. I had to wait till the new season came in to hunt with her again.She did great and got her first rabbit for the season of 2011 to 2012.STAY STRONG

Sorry to here that, i know the pain you talk of. I had 2 back operations in 2000 and 2008 two of my lower disk are gone they broke up in my back. Because the way i was walking from the pain in my back i also ripped my knee cap and had to get a knee operation in 2008 too.Now i am a Falconer i have to watch my self too. When my back or knee hurts i save the hunt for a better day.If i lived close to you i would help you trap.I wish you the best with you back.STAY STRONG AND THEN SOME This is STRIKER

On 9-20-2011 i trapped a passage male Redtail Hawk. The trapping weight is 35.70 oz.. He has nice big feet,a fast leaner did not drop his weight yet and he is flying 30 feet outside on the creance with great responds with a weight of 36.80 oz.. I will take my time with him looking to hunt with him on 10-20 2011 if i can help it.I will be taking SHERA out on the first few weeks of the season. I have been working with her she is ready. Hope you are doing good.Did you trap anything yet.STAY STRONG

Sorry to say, but Kino has pass on. On 8-20-2011 i found Kino at 5:30 rapped up in his leash and dead.I had a hard time getting over that.I miss him and learned a lot from him.We where so close for the hunt. Shera the Harris Hawk is doing great i am reclaiming her for the hunt of 2011 & 2012. She knows the game and she is ready but we will have to wait for Oct.1.That is when season starts here.Hope you are doing good. Have you gone out trapping yet.STAY STRONG

Kino and his Falconer are doing great he is taking baggies outdoors.As a fat Hawk he slow on the lure. Soon he will be hardpen and then i can drop some weight on him and get a better responds on the lure.Any way he is tame and things are looking good so far.Good to here from you.STAY STRONG
