The only other gos I flew was a 3 year old imprint I got secondhand. She hadn't been hooded for 2 years and spent those 2 years in a mews. I did a bunch of OC to get her to get going with the hood...

That's interesting to hear about the hooding. I'm currently flying a female Finnish bird for a friend of mine. She doesn't hood and there have been countless times where it has surely been needed....

This is def a thread I need to follow. I too have plans to pull a female goshawk this spring (have a few nests pegged) so I def need to get my ducks in a row. I'm also lucky in that I live only...

Still working on dates and other finite details. But will be around late June-mid July.

Welcome. Hawking squirrels with a red-tail is some of the most fun I've ever witnessed (better suited for them than a HH, passage rth that is). Many of our club members are on the island. Some...

If the bird is too low it wouldn't be doing fly bys. It just wouldn't fly. Feel the keel is it sharp or is there some meat to it. If say the birds ration is 30g of food a day and he does the fly...

another thing I would suggest is get out with other falconers. See how their birds hunt. See other birds fly, in action besides the ones at the facility you work at. I've met several people who...

These things with the Harris are what might = a lost passage rth. A "fat" Harris will still do stuff and it's all cute and stuff when they take a bit of time to come down. A fat passage rth will...

Yeah it's that time of year when 2015/2016 permits expire and renewal forms are coming in. There is ZERO rush in looking at getting a bird. Sept/oct is he earliest I would wat to trap a bird. An...

Passage refers to first year birds on their first migration. There are the ONLY birds that can be legally trapped in BC. And wouldn't even think about trapping till late sept. Want the bird to be...

First bird was a passage tiercel rth. Best teacher bird there is. Always recommend them over a HH any day of the week for someone getting into FALCONRY

Falconry is the art of HUNTING with a bird of prey. They fact that you say you do not want to hunt with a raptor automatically means falconry is not for you. There are many educational facilities...

Thought so about the dog. Did Dan pike breed him? If so I wonder if our dogs are related. As i can see mines face looking exactly like that. Also interesting on the name as "Reilly" was in final...

Awesome pic of the coops next to the dog. Is that a pure Russell or a beagle/JRT cross? As it looks exactly like my 14 week old cross. I only hope that he will be that gentle with my birds in due...
