No problem. Go to the "files" section on the facebook page. That will answer most of your questions. If you're on a phone, tap the photo banner at the top of the page, then choose "files".

Marshawn, look up Alabama Hawking Association on facebook. Most of us Alabamians, including a few Huntsville natives, are on there.

I'm not trying to make anyone feel unwelcome, which should be evident by the two "welcome's" in my post. I just didn't see any mention of hunting in your post, and that is what falconry is - a form...

Welcome.

From your post, I'm not totally sure if you're aware that falconry, by definition, is simply a form of hunting. If hunting isn't your main objective, you should probably look into some...

Welcome to the forum. What kind of bird do you fly?

This is almost exactly the situation I found myself in about 4 years ago. I did the same thing you're doing - found someone willing to take me hunting with them, where I confirmed that I had to do...

Glad you've been able to get out and hunt.

I feel like I should warn you that life as you knew it is over. You'll never drive anywhere again without looking for hawks on the roadsides. And the...

Welcome aboard! PM sent.

Welcome aboard!

You have all the symptoms of one who is probably beyond help. Does your wife understand that this is terminal? It is important to have an understanding and strong spouse.

Good...

Hey, yeah, I found a sponsor and I'm now in my 3rd year. This thread seems like a lifetime ago. Haha.

I think Ross and the other guys have pretty much covered anything I could tell you. It's a...

Welcome aboard! Do you have a sponsor? Trapping a RT this year? Next year? Five years from now?

I think you're probably going to have to have a fairly long distance sponsor. I don't think there's anybody in that area. Several guys to your west though.

Welcome aboard! You'll find that this site is a wealth of differing opinions, with plenty of people to tell you which ones are correct. ;)

It is possible. It depends on you and your sponsor. What you're capable of and what he/she is open to.

Welcome to the board! There's definitely a lot of experience and knowledge here about RT's. I think you'll find that 99% of it deals with passage RT's though, so keep that in mind.

Looks good, Michael. That's one thing I like about them too. Or, that I think I WOULD like about them.

Welcome!

And tell me how I can get an ornate hawk-eagle. ;)

Welcome to the asylum.

Well, crap. It appears there are risks to everything.

Welcome aboard! It's always interesting to hear how falconers hunt in other countries.

I am only entering my 3rd year as a falconer. I hunt with a red tailed hawk and take mostly cottontail...

I assume any license needed in that type setting is possessed by the zoo, not the individuals working at the zoo. Or, perhaps, by whoever is in charge of the raptors at that zoo.

And, to...

Thanks for the responses, everyone. Your endorsements have set my mind at ease. It seems like the best way to go for what I need. I'm going to try to get my bird outfitted before the season starts.

Hey guys, I bought a receiver and am planning to put a transmitter on my red tail for the first time this season.

Just wondering, now that the trackpacks have been used a couple more years, if...

Welcome to NAFEX!

Joan is a good friend of mine. She will steer you in the right direction.

I can't remember if I posted in this thread before, but since somebody bumped it:


Hawkeye, Me, and a bunny that was having a bad day.
