I use one on my Goshawk. Very powerful and hard to pinpoint close in, under 100 ft. Would be a great unit out west, not so much in heavy brush. Kurt
I'm not sure about what this memo is saying. Polar bear skins that were legally taken before 2008 couldn't be imported? Banning ammunition on federal lands?
I think I need to read the actual bill...
The leg bone of a deer screwed vertical on one of their perches always works for me. Kurt
I've used the backpacks for 3 birds now. It does help having someone help you the first time. I'm ordering a new transmitter with the tap on/off feature so I can just leave it in place. I've also...
There's a bunch of us from the St Chuck area but there's plenty of bunnies to go around. Don't be shy if you see us. Kurt
Congrats on having everything in order. If you can't find birds out by you you're more than welcome to come trapping up by St Louis. There's a couple of passage females that harass the hell out of my...
Hey Dennis
Glad you made it to the site. Was that your Gyr at the picnic ? That thing was as big as my wife's car. The ducks are starting to show up now, two days after Teal season ended. Still a...
They do grow fast. I'm still waiting for them to hatch in the nests I'm watching. last year we pulled on the sixth of June and they probably hatched around the third.
I'm looking for a male this...
Thanks again everyone.
It took a couple of days to get over the shock but I'm looking forward to flying again as soon as possible. First off we need to find a Redtail for my son the immies are...
Thanks everyone, right now I'll work on trapping a Redtail with my son. I won't be able to put a bird on my permit until mid-October with the two wild caught limit. Kurt
Sally was killed today in a collision while hunting. I found her dead in a hedgerow after a long flight at a sparrow. It appears she broke her neck. I'm sick about it. Kurt
442 today, the pollen filled fields caught up to me today as I woke up sick as could be. I waited until later in the day to see if I improved. Decided I needed to fly her anyway and went out long...
446 this evening, I wanted to hunt her this morning but her weight was off. Went looking for a passage RT for my son but didn't find anything. This evening I went to a new field I found that had...
Mike told me to reward her. If she can control them without trashing her tail it's something else to hunt. I doubt she'll catch many. Kurt
445 today, another double including her FIRST RABBIT!!! Alright, it was a small rabbit but she controlled it instead of riding it. Flight was in short cover and only about twenty feet but she did...
446 today, all her flights were long affairs as the birds were all in the open. She ended up with two for the day as the temps and humidity climbed quickly. Sally also started flying at rabbits again...
I'd take pictures but anything in my right hand spooks Sally. I never remember to take shots afterwards, call me old. Kurt
Sally took her first double Sunday, She's still flying at 448 but I need to bring that down a little. Today we would have tried for another double but she got badly hung up in some vines to the point...
447 today, was supposed to meet up with Mike but the rains came and it poured. Mike was on the other side of the storm and turned around. I was already at the field and waited it out since the bird...
448 today, weight is getting closer but still not quite there. Flew a little earlier than planned but rain was forecast. Sally had three flights again before taking one in a tailchase across an open...
449 today, hunt was short because of the heat. Two excellent flights, First flight was great as the sparrow kept dumping and flushing through the weeds with Sally following before vanishing in some...
452 today, bird was flying fat. She had two good long chases before catching one. Both dumped and flushed several times. First was 1 time too many, second was 1 time too few. Sally was nasty again on...
Three tails, sounds like my first Redtail. There's three of us flying Cooper's within 15 miles of me. I hope the rehabbers have lots of feathers. Kurt
Well, actually there were probably a lot more but I didn't want it to sound too good. It's strange though because there's fields around it that look just as good but are empty. It took the last two...
