I just wanted to introduce myself, I've been lurking too long and wanted to join in. My name is Rob, i've been a falconer for about 6 years now, you all know the obsession... I am on my third redtail and we usually hunt cottontails or whatever moves, he is a rabbit stompin' machine! I live in Katy, Texas which is just west of Houston if you know the area, hunting places are disappearing but i still make it happen with my RTH. I am one of two falconers in the Katy area, Jim Hodge one of the authors of "FALCONRY EQUIPMENT" is the other and he was my sponsor... I think i was lucky... We don't have many falconers around here maybe 15 which is not many for how big Houston is. Hope to meet and hunt with some of ya'll soon... Rob Evans
