Wow, I didn't know he lived that long. That's great.

Standing, L to R: Larry, you, ?, Keith, Paul?,?, ?
Kneeling, L to R: Joe, ?, ?, Tony, Dave, Mike.

That's funny because that's what all...

Wow, I remember Bud. I've got pictures of you and him at the old Country Day field probably from 1983 or so. I remember you hunting with him one time across the street from there where there are...

Yeah, but it was male gos. He's pretty excited about the house and all the space. I know he's going to be busy getting moved. I haven't talked to him in a week or so.

Hello, David. I met you years ago when I was kid. Don't know if you remember me. I know Tony talks to you from time to time. Good to see you here.

Agree wholeheartedly. Immediately, so long as the dog isn't a danger to the bird.

That's terrible. At least it happened while hunting, which seems fitting for a coops. This has been a great thread that I know I got a lot of and I'm sure others have and will as well. I'm with...

That really does look like a nice spot. Looks like he's doing well. How's the demeanor etc?

I believe mine's the large clip.

I think even with just that little bit past the end of the tail feather, it can still smack on stuff and cause problems. I really like the Marshall power max I use because it's stiff, stays right up...

Well, that stinks. Just curious, but how long is the antennae on the transmitter you're using? The longer ones are notorious for getting snagged on stuff, but the short stiff ones I believe are...

Welcome. Good luck with the gos. Always nice to have more goshawkers, and you seem to have some varied experiences. I'd love to hear how the hack has come along and how it works out.

I second that request, if you don't mind sharing.

Those are some great pics, Lee. He really must be muscling up nicely making kills on those long flights.

This is great, thanks for the updates. Really makes me want to try a tame-hacked coops, or hopefully live where I can hack my next gos. Can't wait to read Mike's article on the whole thing.

Nope, not federal. We don't have to band our native birds either. I had to band my first redtail 16 years ago, but they did away with it I'm sure to save paper work for the state guys. Some...

Nice looking guy, Lee. Looks like the fun's just starting for you.

I've really been enjoying this thread. Thanks for the updates. The birds look great!

When I was training an eyas coops in a field near a school, the bag quail turned and flew back behind me about 200 yards and over the school where the coops caught up and snagged it on the roof. I...

That's good to hear. Live and learn, but at least it had a good ending.

Wow, that really stinks. I'm with Fred. No way to climb this tree? Hope everything works out.

Just curious, but where are you keeping him? Is he still in the house? Really sounds like his transition to hunting bird is very smooth so far.

Awesome! Congrats! Sounds like he is doing perfectly.

Look at those feet!

It was about nine years ago, but the one issue I remember was problems on the kill. I'm sure in my excitement and haste I insulted him in one way or another early on and it stuck with him. So I...

Have fun, Lee. Yeah, it's hard to resist when someone's up the tree and you're right there. I don't blame you. Talk about trial by fire though. My first imprint was a male coops, and boy are you...
