    Hey Bob, to NAFEX! Lots of great folks on here and lots of very interesting subjects, some you will agree with and some you won't, but hey, falconry is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you get! Sorry Forrest!

    Default Aplos

    Bob, glad to see you made it on this site. You'll enjoy it.

    Sorry, Bob, to go off the topic, but:
    Chris et al, be sure to read Harry's latest book. You'll be HOOKED on aplos!!
    BTW, Sophie, pictured above in my avatar, is a total blast to fly. You always have to be sure to wear a baseball cap because she thinks your head is a T-perch to hunt from.

    Default Aplomados

    Chris I flew one in 06, and then gave her back to the breeding project. I picked up my current charge in july on my way to do abatement in Washinton state with three other aplomados, all appeared to be subadults two tercels and two falcons. I returned three of the hawks after the harvest and plan on returning the fourth after the nafa meet. I am hunting her five times a week and the larger insects are starting to get in my way, but it is just part of the deal. They are a blast to hunt in a cast, nothing in falconry like watching four of the avain leopards chasing. Kind of like Harris hawks, but much cooler, because the flights are after birds!
    Lookin forward to running into others hunting them.

    Bob,

    You mentioned you return them to the breeder. Will you get the same 4 back when you decide to fly again or are they up for breeding for good? What is the time frame to get these guys ready for abatement once they are in your hands?

    If you have any more pictures I would enjoy seeing them. I really would like to see some of these guys in action.

    Good luck at NAFA with her. Hate I am going to miss NAFA this year. I really would have enjoyed seeing her fly.

    thanks for the post and please don't hesitate to talk more about them on here.

    Cheers,

    Chris

    Chris, I plan on using the aplomado again next year given, I am invited to do so. I would be happy to get new hawks again, or proven birds, no matter. newbies are much more work, but have its own rewards.

    As to photo's, all I had was a point and shoot, so all I got last season are "chump" shots. one of Maggie with magpie

    Time frame, once coming to the lure it is time to go out and start, remember I had four to use. Aplomados love to chase, and that is all that is required to be sucessful at abatement. As to catching stuff, all were sucessful in the first week, lots of stuff to chase if you are out doing it every day!
    Bob
