Are you going to try for a male or a female? What method do you plan to use to raise the Gos?

Are you going to try for a male or a female? What method do you plan to use to raise the Gos?
I had a small parent raised daughter of Whitewing about twenty years ago. She had a very sweet nature toward both humans and other HHs, and was a freezer filling machine. Have fun with your bird.

Well, I was sort of thinking about one of those really big sombreros.
Good luck with your project Rob. The only birds I have imprinted are a Coopers Hawk and a few falcons, not a HH. I feed them often, about six or seven times a day. I watch them and feed them not too...
If she takes the bull down, I'm gettin' the heck out of Dodge; I might be next.
I think I'm going to sell my sissy falcons and imprint a big female HH, and get me a Mexican fighting bull to ride when I'm flying her.
Me to.
Fred, I think you usually articulate your points of view very well. I don't think we have anything to debate, much less argue.
Have fun with your baby birds, I love imprints. Well, I love chamber...
Jeff,
I rarely try to "win" in a conversation. I don't really like debates. If I was trying to make a point, it would be that, even after a lot of experience I have no way of knowing with any...
Hi Fred,
If you can discern a clear message from anything I might post on a subject like this, you're a better man than I am; which I never doubted, by the way.
It would be almost impossible for...
Barry,
I'll certainly try to round up as many of those birds as I can and get them back to you. However, I feel that it's only fair to warn you that some amount of liability may be attached to one...
What the heck is an emotion anyway? Is it a product of higher reasoning, or the the result of some little gray cells being flooded with various hormones? (Honest question.)
I now of an imprint...
For quarry, a female Prairie should be able to take about the same quarry as a female Peregrine. I had a female that took everything from quail to partridge to cock pheasants and Mallards.
With a...
Thanks for the info.
Hi Chuck,
I'm very sorry you lost your bird. I know what that can feel like.
I'm sure there are several rigs that would work with your style of hunting and the birds that you like to fly. I...
Given sentimentality, there is certainly a danger of excess anthropomorphism. Given fear, there may be a danger of under anthropomorphism, for want of a better term. Falcons are certainly "violent,...
Good luck.
Hi Ed,
I hope you're around long enough to fly many many new kinds of hawks. I've been retired for a while too, and I hope the same thing for myself. I just put up a pair to breed last year. I...
Hi Robert,
I'm not saying I would switch; I didn't throw my 216 stuff away when I bought 433 gear, but if you could make the antennas on 151 transmitters short, and still retain good output, and...
If your local library doesn't have any good falconry books, there might be a possibility that they would be willing to purchase one or more. The little library closest to where I live has been more...
Hi Robert,
Thanks for posting this. I like the idea of being able to double the range for the price of an antenna.
I'm glad the gain of the Marshal antenna was specified in dBd instead of just...
Hi Ron,
What you say is true, but the thing I use telemetry for the most is to find a bird on the ground on game she has caught at a distance. I need to get there before another predator can harm...
Tanner,
While we were out playing with the stuff yesterday, my wife said the same thing and offered to tend the kite while I drive off with the receivers. I was already planning to do that, but...
Hi Tanner,
You're right, it's not apples to apples. Since I use two transmitters on large falcons anyway, I think, for now, I'll use one of each. If I had to use just one, it would be the UHF. If...
The 433MHz stuff got here Friday. I got the FM UHF 100 receiver in 433 MHz, an RT UHF transmitter, and an omni antenna. Everything is very compact. I always carry the receiver with me in the field...
