Veloci

**Raptorick** · 06-05-2009, 01:18 PM

I think I will name her Veloci. Not sure of name yet, but when she sits she looks like a white velociraptor. She is a bit older now then these pictures. Just thought I would share them.

Ah I remember when my imprint coop looked like that, it seems like yesterday. Actually it was yesterday or maybe the day before

Good lookin' little bird. The toes and legs of your bird look thicker and more stout than mine so I'm more confident that I got a male. Are you gonna start hawkin' it at penning or try tame hack? It would be interesting to compare your's, mine, Mark's and others starting an imprint coop this year and see how they all compare and what we all do differently.

it'll be fun to compare notes. I have decided not to tame hack for saftey reasons. Too many wild house cats and redtails hanging around. Not to mention my HHs in chain link fences. I am going to hunt as soon as she is ready.

Great looking little girl.

**longbow** · 06-05-2009, 01:50 PM

If your not tame hacking, do you have a timeline kinda worked out on when to switch steps and so forth ?

**Raptorick** · 06-05-2009, 01:53 PM

yes, I have a good idea. I plan to have her hunting at penning or before. I will waist no time. Will just see how far along she will be as she develops. I will post some newer pictures later.

**tumble** · 06-08-2009, 09:16 PM

Just saw this thread, Rick. Nice photos! Good luck with her!

**PeteJ** · 06-08-2009, 10:30 PM

Good looking gal! They do have some nice feet on them don't they? Thanks for sharing and I hope she works out great for you.

**wesleyc6** · 06-08-2009, 11:21 PM

Great looking little bird you got there. Can't wait to read some hunting stories

**FredFogg** · 06-09-2009, 03:21 PM

Rick, really nice looking coops! Me thinks she is going to be a big girl by those feet! LOL Man I miss my coops! Might have to fix that next spring!

What did you do with her?

Sent her up North to a guy and from there on to a breeding project.

**Raptorick** · 06-10-2009, 09:32 AM

I need to name her something besides coops. She looks at me like she wishes I was a bit smaller so she could eat me like a gummy bear.

**BrianD** · 06-10-2009, 05:19 PM

All you guys are killing me with your eyas coops! I guess I'm gonna have to wait til this fall and trap me a passage coop.

**Raptorick** · 06-16-2009, 07:55 AM

still not sure of name yet. My daughter likes Velci. I still call her coops. She is average in size I guess. Stays around 470grms.

**frootdog** · 06-16-2009, 07:58 AM

Those jesses should probably be a couple inches longer....

Yea I put a leash on each leg.

**tumble** · 06-18-2009, 06:52 PM

Good looking team, Rick! My dog won't get that close to the gos yet, except in the truck. Redtail, no problem anywhere. Maybe he knows something I don't.

Thanks, maybe we can hunt together sometime!

**Raptorick** · 06-18-2009, 08:36 PM

We will be hunting very soon.

Thanks for looking at her.

Great pics Rick! She's gonna have a sore neck for sure.

**PeteJ** · 06-18-2009, 10:30 PM

She's looking good and relaxed. It won't be long now!

**Bryant Tarr** · 06-19-2009, 06:28 PM

Nice pics...not exactly stressed out eh?

**Dirthawking** · 06-23-2009, 12:42 AM

Bird tipping anyone?

Nice pictures! Bird looks great!

**Ross.Spafford** · 06-23-2009, 02:05 PM

Rick,

Send me a PM if you want some company when you start hunting. I wouldn't mind driving up for a day one weekend.

Were almost there. Should be car hawking this weekend. Setting up some car baggies today. She is still a little fat and not quite hard pinned. I will let you know when we really start wacking stuff.

I have a few quail areas when the season opens. If you have any down your way I got a wirehair.

**MGermana** · 06-23-2009, 06:57 PM

I am not sure if she is relaxed or exhausted from dragging around the leashes... I mean jesses. Tame or broke down you make the call.

I learned how to break them down like my wife does me with a long leash on each leg.
Hey will be hunting real soon. Should be smacking starlings this weekend. Come over I need a driver and I will let you hug my bird.

**Ross.Spafford** · 06-24-2009, 05:18 PM

Rick,

What are you using as baggies?

**dirthawker2004** · 06-24-2009, 05:33 PM

rick looking good you are going to be hunting real soon

**Raptorick** · 06-26-2009, 07:55 AM

We call her Velci, Because my Daughter thought she reminded her of a Velociraptor, so she just kind of inherited Velci. Kind of like Velci-raptor. Next pictures will be hunting pictures. Hopefully this weekend she will kill her first wild prey. I checked her tail and she is just about pinned. Not quite, but ready to hunt. She flew yesterday at 434 grms and I have been able to drop her .2 every day and so far have kept a good attitude.I wish I had the guts to of free hacked her, but I work and just too many other predators for me to chance it. Including my HH's in chain link pens. So I chickened out.

**BrianD** · 06-26-2009, 09:22 AM

Nice pics Rick. Cant wait for the hunting pics!

**Saluqi** · 06-26-2009, 09:23 AM

Great looking bird Rick. Looks like the fun is about to begin!

**dirthawker2004** · 06-27-2009, 02:59 PM

rick she looks awesome hope to hear a good hunting story soon.
