    Smile Hello from Florida

    Hey my name is Hollie and I am sort of new to the forum, my husband has been a member for awhile now so I am usually on it with him. His name is tyme2fly, and we both have MRT. I love falconry and can't wait for the moult to be over so we can go hunting again....My husband and myself are both apprentices. I got my license in January and my Red Tail bagged 12 rabbits this hunting season, it was a short one for us but he did awesome. We both have our birds right at our house with us and we have two mews. It is so awesome to be a part of a hawks life it is such a privilege for them to allow us in their lives.....

    Hoping to get a chance to meet and to go out with all of you in Oct when I get back down to Hernando Beach. It's 38 here near Buffalo NY this morning and the bird, Herc, 2X MRT seems to be loving it. Have a great Memorial Day weekend.

    Hi Jen,how you doing.Haven't heard from you since the year of the missing JRT's.
    That was a horrible year for trapping.
    Hollie just talked to my friend Russ(broken feather) and he read this thread and said your 10 minutes away from him.He knows alot of good rabbit fields and now that he's a snooty Longwinger(you know how they are)He probably be happy to take you to a couple.

    Hey Toadstool it is very cool that my husband and myself get to do falconry together....it's a lot of fun and of course great competition between the two of us....

    Hey broken feather, Ron is my husbands sponsor as well. My husband said he thinks he has met you at a field at a abandoned golf course.

    Hollie, I did met your husband! That day rick's bird wouldn't stay in the field and there was to much water for Ron. That golf course is loaded with Rabbits on the back side. I work my jrts there. its good for rts after a freeze. I have fields in plant city & lakeland. I know Ron has hunted one or two in plant city.I have some that hasn't been flown for two years!!!

    Hey Hollie, Ron was my sponsor as well. He doesn't sponsor much anymore so you two must be pretty motivated.

    Russ knows where the rabbits are but you better get some serious chaps, or a dog, or a bulldozer.
