Agreed- IMHO the backpack is a great advancement in telemetry. Thanks for bringing it to market, and thanks for the free poster - what a great picture.

Welcome! Where in NC are you? There are a fair number of North Carolinians on here, so you might be able to find someone close by that you could get up with for more detailed info than what is...

Welcome! Where in SC are you located?

I have tried Ed's method, but without success. I hunted Francisco at 360 grams last year- over the past couple of months I slowly and carefully cut his weight down to 260. Obviously, one of my...

Ronny;

Just to let you know, you are not alone. My current male RT will grab a hand just as soon as look at it. I now always wear a glove on my other hand in the interest of self preservation. ...

What part of NC are you in? You might be able to hook up with some local guys/girls to go out for a couple of hunts before the end of the season.

Welcome! My wife is an avid agility person with her shelter corgie-collie mix. I told her for years that she needed a hobby - I'm now telling her that I didn't mean one that involves me spending...

Thanks for the help - sent a PM.

I first joined NAFA in 1980 or 1981 but have not been a member for a few years due to reasons similar to those that get brought up in NAFA discussions. I tried it again for a few years ago, but not...

Thanks!

Tried tying the CR to him landing on a specific perch tonight and sure enough, he got it pretty quick. Now to start working on that screaming! Great log Mike- it really made me stop and think out a...

Thanks for the replies - it seems that, once again, between my birds and me I am the slow one!

Thanks,
Ted

I want to use operant conditioning on Francisco, my Gyr/Merlin, to see if I can't reduce some of his bad habits (screaming and manteling/carrying). Using Karen Pryor's article on falconry and OC as...

Maybe, but only temporarily until the case works its way through the court system. I'm pretty confident I would get my license back at the first level - the Feds can try and pursue the case further...

Sure, there are cases that support warrantless searches, but in the case of administrative searches only in situations that have a strong public interest (and usually only in the 'immediate health...

Welcome! Sounds like you have an easy sponsor- the hard ones start you off as the rabbit! :D

I really appreciate everyone's opinion. I think there is a lot of merit to the thought that to some extent this is just another step in their development. I am trying to make sure he continues to...

Here, here! I'm with you Bryant- there is a certain amount of logic to it. Just let me know if my screaming little falcon is keeping you awake up there. :D

Well, Francisco, my Gyr/Merlin has become quite the screamer (he's perched on my desk as I write this, and I'm having to wear ear plugs). I realize it is my fault, and almost certainly due to some...

I too remember you from Hawk-L. About seven years ago you seemed to have disappeared off the list which led to some discussions about whether something had happened to you. Glad to hear you are ok. ...

No problem! My new goal in life is to be forgettable. :)

Mark;

I'm in Rutherfordton, which isn't too far from you as the crow flies. Unfortunately, it's a bit farther by road due to a lack of a direct route. I'll send you my contact info by PM.

I found Whataburger burgers to be the size of Hardees but the quality of McDonalds. Not so yummy.

I've eaten at a Whataburger - once. I think they served me your eyas.

-Ted

So, what do all of you imprinters do during the workday? Do you take your eyas to work with you, or leave him/her at home? If you take them to work, what do you keep them in there? Do you have a...
