My regards to all.
My name is Wm Maguire, I am 70 years old and a retired flyer of "RedTails.
for over 25 years.
I have been out of active participation for about 12 years, but still enjoy observing wild, and trained birds alike.
My own method was to capture a "passage" juvenile Redtail in october, man it well, then hunt it through the cold months. I usually released the bird in the spring, starting over again the next fall.
I have had some great success flying wild quarry, mostly Bunnies and Squirrells.
The occaisional Opossum Muskrat, Duck or Pheasent was always welcome too.
I have Trapped, banded and released, or flown a lot of Redtails in my active time.
I have pretty extensive experience with the Redtail, and would be happy to help anyone with any information I might have.

I will probably mostly observe how others are experiencing the sport,
but may add something from my experiences if I think it may help.

Thanks for allowing me to Hawk (Vicariously) through your postings.

Wm (Bill) Maguire, Middletown MD
