Chris, I plan on using the aplomado again next year given, I am invited to do so. I would be happy to get new hawks again, or proven birds, no matter. newbies are much more work, but have its own rewards.

As to photo's, all I had was a point and shoot, so all I got last season are "chump" shots. one of Maggie with magpie

Time frame, once coming to the lure it is time to go out and start, remember I had four to use. Aplomados love to chase, and that is all that is required to be sucessful at abatement. As to catching stuff, all were sucessful in the first week, lots of stuff to chase if you are out doing it every day!
