Billy I know what you meen by the snow my bird was doing some 100 to150 yrd. flites for rabbits he just got up so high in the trees and could see them trying to sneek away great flying and great work for the bird. They see everything with the snow on the ground makes for great flights though. Take care and keep in touch. Bill
Went hunting today and had a good hard hunt.Lots snow from the big 2011 blizzard and the rabbits see us coming from far away.Weeds are down and you can see the rabbits 25 to 50 yards away running.So can Gunner and he nail tonight's dinner.Gave him a full crop for his work.Sorry i did not get to you earlier, hope things are going good for you and your redtail hawk so far for this season.GOOD to here from you.STAY STRONG

Don't know why that little circle is there other than I accidently wrote the message to myself then copy & pasted it to you I'm just old and not comp. savvy other words I'm a dumb-ass............. Bill
Went out last weekend with a couple apprintess and watched their birds, big feilds and ranging birds, with the snow they could see rabbits 200 yrds. away and mine was the worst about ranging. But I went out this A.M. and my old sonsor we hunt togrther all the time and we killed one each it was quick my coffee didn't even get cool, we were only out for about a half hour with two birds. But didn't want to hit the feild to hard so we'll have another day at them. Hope you get to felling better deffently some kind of bug going around. Take care!!!!!!! Bill
Had the flu down for two weeks .Went hunting on 1-28-2011 it was a good redtail hunt had four slips#4 was dinner. How was your hunting meet? STAY STRONG
Hey Billy know how that falconry bug is, I always want to go but the arthritis gets to me bad in these real cold months but I still try to get out some but not near as much as I did say 10 yrs. ago. Myself I'm a master level but it really don't mean much to me. I have always flown a redtail just a easy bird to fly and free, I have at one time wanted a Gos. but just don't have the money to buy one and they don't migrate through the Ohio Valley so to trap one here is very rare. I am going out with a couple guys tomorrow for awhile in a place about 45 mins. from home just to do a meet and greet with some guys that I met here on NAFEX. Plus I always like to meet others and see if they got any good places to hunt, ie got to be better than what I got going here right now. We'll see how it goes it will be an adventure at the most and get to meet some new guys, one is in his 2nd yr. app. and the other is a friend of his. So we will see how things go and I'll let you know how it goes. Bill
I know how you feel i had two back operations too and a knee operation. My first back operation was 2000 my knee and #2 back operation was 2008. I am just fired up on falcony and that keeps me going.After my operation and i was able to walk again i became a falconer so i am a general and i am having a blast.STAY STRONG
