Did quite a bit of trapping over the last week. Trapped 7 birds total in that time. Everything from a 31 oz male up to a 50.6 oz female.
Took a day off of work last Thursday and took out a friend's Cincinnati area apprentice, out and helped him trap a nice 50.6 oz female. Here's Drew with his new bird.
On the scale...
Caught the next two in Cincinnati on Sunday...
Trapped this BIG male today after picking up a load of live quail...

Well this has nothing to do with the trapping pics but this IS the video section
so... I just thought I would let you all now about a great youtube channel a good freind of mine started a while back. http://www.youtube.com/user/falconersapprentice
When he and I were getting started in falconry there were almost no good videos on how to make equipment etc. So he started this. I think its excellent but was curious if any of you all have seen it and if so what you think.
Thanks a lot!

Two days of ridge trapping with my good friend Bill Barbour on Friday and Yesterday netted us 27 RT'S and one bad little Sharpie. Had an absolutely amazing time with many of the birds coming in like a rocket from hundreds of yards out. We took four guys with us over those two days all of which were very happy to say the least. It's getting a little late in the RT migration so no monsters were trapped. Yet all the birds kept were no BS flights, all in the 40 oz range, with the biggest being 46 flat. It was an awesome time to say the least! Thanks Bill!

We only go through this circus once, so enjoy the ride.
Spent all day without seeing a single bird. Caught this dude on the way home, five minutes from my house. 1080g off the trap.

There ya go Fred! I had rotated the pics, with them still not posting vertical. Just discovered all I need do is have my phone vertical!
