Giant Hood & Misc. For Sale Texas

[TXSunFalcon]

As mentioned in another listing for some aluminum falcon blocks, I'm soon going to be moving onto a sailboat for a few years, so I need to sell some falconry equipment.

This listing is for a giant hood measuring 25 inches tall by 24 inches front to back by 16 inches wide. It is lightweight and very durable. I made it myself years ago and it has carried even the largest Redtail with ease.

There is a door on the front that snaps shut and has a safety bar with clip latch for security. You can even put a padlock on it if you desire. It is white chloroplast (the stuff they make political signs out of) glued and reinforced with duct tape along the edges. Like I said, it has withstood the test of time (12 years now) and still functions like the day I made it. Perfect for the apprentice!

$75, but I'll make you a deal if you want to purchase other stuff.

I also have for sale:
-large, heavy (like a ton) bow perch made of steel in need of sandblasting and refinishing due to some rust on the base.

-gloves (small - ladies size),

- a couple hunting (fishing/ falconry) vests (Small & Med),

-a BC trap that has caught upwards of 3 dozen Redtails and HH's

-a pigeon/small game carrier,

-training leash weighted at one end

-large equipment bag for carrying falconry stuff,

-misc. swivels, leashes, small leather goods,

-hoods

-art (framed and unframed)

-books

I'm trying to get photos taken of all this stuff, but I'm having trouble uploading to photobucket - keep getting error messages. So if you have an interest in anything in particular, please email me at SLawryTX@msn.com and I can get photos and details directly to you.

Thanks!

Four hoods are blocked 3-piece Dutch with hand sewn seems, Turks knot, and Gortex braces on the Woods Falcon Farms hoods. Those ran about $75+ new. All are in very good condition, well cared for and the custom ones were mostly used for special occasions / meets. The other two are general field/trapping hoods in good condition.

Woods hoods, Marshall antennae, giant hood.

Still available : lots of books, magazines, artwork, hunting vests, and I've still got more to photograph (especially the unframed art) May not get to it all today, so please check back as I'm listing it all in the album here:

Books updated and listed in another thread today.

GIANT HOOD NOW AVAILABLE - $75 plus shipping if you want it shipped. I was planning to ship this for someone else, but he's not getting the extra bird, so does not need it. We investigated shipping and it's coming in around $70 UPS, depending on destination, so figure $150 total on this. If you're close enough to pick it up, or meet me in Fort Worth, much better.

[TXSunFalcon]

Update as of 08/20 Available:

Giant Hood - 26 inches tall by 25 inches front to back by 17 inches wide (rounding up to nearest inch) It is lightweight and very durable. I made it myself years ago and it has carried even the largest Redtail with ease.

There is a door on the front that snaps shut and has a safety bar with clip latch for security. You can even put a padlock on it if you desire. It is white chloroplast (the stuff they make political signs out of) glued and reinforced with duct tape along the edges. It has a turf wrapped bar perch inside. Like I said, it has withstood the test of time (12 years now) and still functions like the day I made it. Perfect for the apprentice!

USPS told me yesterday they can ship it for around $30, much better than UPS, so we're looking at around $100-$110 total.

Open to offers on any of these items:

-gloves (small - ladies size),

- a couple hunting (fishing/ falconry) vests (Small & Med),

-a BC trap that has caught upwards of 3 dozen Redtails and HH's

-a pigeon/small game carrier,

-creance weighted at one end w/ PVC pipe that can be filled with rocks or shot

I made separate threads for the art and book listings. There is still a beautiful peregrine print, a redtail on a post print, and a large framed Harpy Eagle print available. See book list thread for details of availability on books, or just drop me a line.

- New heavy leather falconry glove black small ladies or kids size, left hand $25

- Used heavy leather falconry glove dark brown small, left $20

- Fancy like new dark green and cordova leather falconry glove from England $40

- hunting (fishing/ falconry) vests (Small & Med) - two brand new $30 for the lot

- BC trap that has caught upwards of 3 dozen Redtails and HH's - we used this with gerbils as bait extensively trapping HH's in the desert in AZ and it NEVER failed to get a hawk on it (or two or three at a time!) every time. Well constructed and heavy. Weighted on one side to roll "top up" every time it's thrown. A good BC will get your hawk faster, so why pay over $100 or reinvent the wheel? Get a proven trap here! - $40

- pigeon/small game carrier $10

- creance weighted at one end w/ PVC pipe that can be filled with rocks or shot $10

- brand new, unused pigeon harness with extra nooses (use with creance above) $40 (These sell for twice that on a popular falconry equipment site)

- Sparrow net (use for holding sparrows as bait with a bow net trapping system) $10

- two French snaps on leash, leashes with crosslock swivels, couple yards of excellent various sized leash material $25 for all

- feather straightener, brass ring, $5

- leather covered toggle jesses $10

- Marshall transmitter magnetic wand on retractable leash that pins to your vest. The other leather thing on there is a snap for holding a falcon hood while in the field $15 for the set

-large equipment bag for carrying falconry stuff to the field, change of clothing, or tools, like new $15 (cost twice this)

- brass hawk wall hanging - handmade by a friend of mine this piece is a cutout of a redtail soaring - it's rustic and 36" wide. It needs a wire on the back to hang it, but would be great for mews or man cave décor!

Shipping depends on how much stuff you want and how far it must travel, but I've been shipping a lot of stuff lately and I believe all of the items above would ship together anywhere in the continental USA for about $25. A small package might cost about $5 to ship.

If you only it all, or only a few items, please let me know and I'm sure we can work something out. I can also make arrangements for secure payment by CC if that helps.
