So Bill, can we count on you to re-join?

Oh my. I'm done here.

Yup, that was all that was left. The last time I asked for a replacement that got lost in the mail (20 years ago) I got chewed out for costing NAFA money so I won't be asking for another. As I said...

I feel like I'm being left behind. My Hawkchalk envelope came trashed by the USPS with no mag in it. Then I try to read it on line and can't do that either. Went hawking today with 2 great birds that...

I have Kent's book and have enjoyed it very much even though I wasn't mentioned but then I haven't accomplished much so why would he. I have met him several times over the years and found him to be...

You already know I can't count. To answer your question Ray...yes.

I still want to start a sub group of one-eyed falconers on here.

Beyond the local 5th graders I feel to obligation to explain myself or falconry to anybody. Filming what we do does none of us any good. No one outside the sport deserves the sight of it. I even...

I found it on an abatement site. I think it is American Abatement or google the key words. Another great way to learn proper falcon handling is to buy House of Grouse. Watch every move Steve makes, a...

I would second what Tony said. Find Raul Ramerize's video on high level hooding and get started right now. Bring your comfort level up with regards to tethering by using the Lyman method if you...

Fresh caught falcons spend most of their lives in the hood at least for the first 2 weeks. I would feel bad if I left my made falcons hooded in the mews. Why not leave her un hooded? Nervous hawk?

Swallows leave MA by the middle of Sept. or so.

Go to "Mike's Falconry" and order up a couple of his sparrow traps. take 2 saw horses and lay a sheet of plywood on them. bait the surface with bird seed until the little darlings are all coming to...

Thank you for the heads up on CO. With the above info combined with what I have heard about their heavy handed fish cops I won't drive into the state for any reason. So it begs the question, why are...

David Frank is a true gentleman in every way. He stops by my place a couple times a year for a few days to shoot geese and fly falcons. He always comes bearing gifts, a bottle or 2 of wine or fine...

This bit of medieval drivel from the 14th century has served me well.

As a matter of fact Ron I am a bit clumsy at hooding falcons and never could sneak up on the 2 shifty gos hawks I have flown. I don't want to get to elimental here and risk offending you but hood...

Maybe someday we one-eyed falconers should get together and trade goffy stories. I've met quite a few over the years, most of them long wingers with hooded falcons on their fists. Steve Chindgrine,...
