Years ago I sold furniture, and went to Hickory NC to purchase in Oct and April. I never saw areas where I would hunt a longwing. I figured there were areas that I didn't know about as there are several falconers such as yourself doing so.
So you are telling me that isn't so much the cost of the hawk, but the shortwings? My run ins with the coops haven't amounted to anything more than both hawks going into a soar, and the coop being tail chased to cover. I fear redtails!
They are on every other fence post or pole and known for coming out of nowhere. Such is the life of any falconer hunting the micros.
