Welcome, Brian! Did you live in the U.S. previously or did you grow up in Scotland? Glad to have you!

We are planning to imprint them as if we were doing them separately, but with both in the same nest box. One reason is convenience, rather than handle two nest boxes we will just have the one and...

Oh, lol. I actually originally read it how you meant it. I'm talking with my fiance. He wants to hack them but I'm not so sure.

Joe, I read your thread and enjoyed it a lot. Thanks!

I noticed that discrepancy in McD's book. I'm reading it right now. He states to never put a large reward on the lure, as it can cause possessiveness. But he says (if I remember correctly) that he...

My fiance and I are pulling a pair of sharpies this Spring. My question is would it be better to imprint them as a pair (and hack them together if we go that route) or would it be better to imprint...

The issue I'm worried about is eventual association of my hand as food. So provoking grabbing at my free hand when I'm messing with jesses, etc. Not necessarily being worried about getting footed...

Does HLT work as well with Red-Tails or other birds that are footy for food? Or does it promote footing at your hands for the food? That's the only worry I and a friend of mine have.

Actually the opposite! There are only 3 or 4 of us down here, and two of are my fiance and me! St. Louis, MO is the closest place with falconers, lol.

You're in a great place, Ashleigh. The suburbs of Chicago are where 90% of Illinois falconers live it seems. I'm sure you'll find some great people nearby. Be sure to check out the other state club,...

Hello! Welcome!

Shame on you Mr.Cogar. You know the rules! :P If you get to do some flying with them I'm gonna be one jealous falconer. Wish more people lived down my way!!
