I think that photos are overrated, Fred you sure clean up nice.
Look forward to seeing you all in you in the field.
Brad, I'll look for the guy with the remote.
Isn't next years meet in Kansas?

Tony it took me a while.....but you reminded me of something. It only took 1.5 yrs or so.....
You are just in a warmer climate so you needed to shave a bit....

Greg, LOL! Worst part is I knew the clip by heart. I've seen Rudolph,Frosty,The great Pumpkin,etc, a million times.Funny thing is in the last couple years I've been watching them without my kids! The only one I'll put on and not claim "it's for the kids" is Emmet Otter's jug band Christmas. I even bought the DVD!

Greg,
Great clip. I used to love those as a kid. My kids think they are silly. Just not up to today's animation standards to them. That pic got me a great post card form Ron Clark a while ago too. Tony

Hey Nick, I auditioned to play guitar for the River Bottom Nightmare Band. They said I wasn't hairy enough. Where are they now, I ask.
Tom Gagne- Don't panic.
Fred it's a long story but it was the only way I could hunt the field, as everyone who hunts in Dodge knows it is a well known "gos field."
I had to borrow the bird at the last minute to gain entry and didn't have a glove.
ps she bagged a bunny in a 100 yd flight and then I needed to borrow a bag to put it in.
Sometimes I am somewhat unprepared for what life throws at me!

Didnt ya see the signs on the road .. "GOS FIELD"
this just makes you smile.

Heather, I was out in Dodge last month with 2 goshawkers, the big joke was that I was in a gosfield most of the time. The tercel and hen Harris each caught a jack( I was afraid to hunt the two together due to her aggressive nature) The goshawkers caught the heck out of cottontails, but went home empty with the jacks. We had a great laugh. There are way more jacks taken in the fields of Dodge with Harris hawks, They rule!

BTW wyodjm, how many toes does that passgos have and where do I get one? Am I seeing things or is that real? Looks good to me.

Eric I would love to see more pics of your Harlan's hawk please post!

Conor, I consider you one of the best photographers on this site and have enjoyed so many of your pics that I will gladly oblige. I don't tend to take many photos while I'm hawking so the pics are scarce with such a new bird. I'll dig up what I can. A PFRT I had several years ago was a Harlan's also.....very dark bird. She moulted darker every year, flew her 5 seasons. Had no digital camera back then so I have no easy photos to post. Talk to you later.

Might not get a chance to meet any of you but since I have replied to some of these topics I figure you should at least know what I look like.
Happy hunting to all!!
Since we're coming up on Dodge City, I thought I'd toss a couple pictures of me up.

Ok well everyone has a cool bird on their fist and I got an educator bird -sigh-. Anyone else ever get that you just wanna die for the season sorta thing goin' on? So much to do so little time and money to do it...This pic was quite some time ago too.

What is SCA?
Jeff,

Society for Creative Anachronism, type in SCA in your search, it is recreation of middle ages. You have a big club in Wyoming, The US is broken up into kingdoms and we battle each other. Lots of falconers are members. I joined because I like heavy weapon fighting, Its the fuedal system, fight to the top..you would like it!!
