Well, sorry about being bad about posting but here is an update. I have been working hard on the Nevada falconry regulations and we are making some progress. I think the new regs will be ok when we are done. My buddy Brian now has a great little prairie falcon. Kit my 3 year old harris is molting nicely. My new tiercel harris will be coming to me in September and i am bored to death to not go hunting. The store is coming along well. Ill update more in a while.

Well, we are hard at work here in Nevada working on the new Federal falconry changeover. How is anyone else coming along?

Hard at work

Well,
I have busy lately with a lot of things, so it is time for an update on everything.

First:
The new online falconry equipment store that I opened up is doing pretty well. We have a nice add coming up in American Falconry Magazine and I think that will help. The store is now carrying Communications Specialists telemetry. We are also proud to announce that we are the only falconry store that is offering authentic Ron Rollins hoods. These are not knock offs made from his blocks. I worked hard to get Ron back into offering hoods again and to assure that they are authentic, Ron is signing the inside tab of every hood. We are really excited about the progress of the store, so please check it out.

Second:
I went to the Utah Sky Trials in February with two friends and we had a great trip. We made some new friends and we had some sales. I trapped a new female prairie falcon. Her name is Fergie. She is coming along in the process and I am enjoying the challenge of my first falcon. I can’t wait to hunt birds and ducks with her. Kit, my harris hawk, is still doing great chasing jack rabbits. She is up to over 30 this season. I am having a blast with her still and I will keep her for a long time.

Third:
I have been hard at work spearheading the Federal Falconry laws in Nevada on behalf of the State falconers. We really hope to have the laws in place this year. I just went before the Wildlife Commission and spoke to them about the laws. I really think that we made some progress.

Ill be posting more often and I appologize for my lack of blogging.

New Calendar

I am going to be placing items on the new calendar tab as I have or know of events. I hope to turn this new calendar into a place where falconers in Northern Nevada can put items of interest up. Ill start with an event this weekend, the Nevada Wildlife Commission meeting all weekend at 1100 Valley Rd.

Apprentice update.

My apprentice has his red-tail flying 35 feet on a creance. He is having a blast with his new hawk. Should be really fun to get him hunting. Trying 100 foot creance fly tomorrow.

My apprentice is progressing well.

Well, I am happy to announce that my apprentice’s tiercel red-tail is finally coming 6 feet to the glove. I was really happy to hear when he told me that. Creance work will begin this weekend and we should be making a lot of progress. He jumped at 1054 grams. Should be a great hawk at 1025 or so. I am headed out this weekend every day to hunt my harris. Kit is doing very well and is very anxious.

It was a beautiful day today. Perfect for hawking. Kit and I got out and got a nice jack rabbit. I really do love this time of year. I am working on helping my new apprentice pass his facility inspection on Monday. Headed out to go hawking again tomorrow in a new field that I think will work out nicely. Have a great holiday everyone and happy hawking!!
