<span style="background-color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">These pups are AFC registered, have had their dew claws removed and will have their first round of shots before they leave. My male Rocky is out of Honky Tonk lines and my female is out of Elhew Damascus lines. These are some </span><i style="background-color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">outstanding</i><span style="background-color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> pups produced by some outstanding parents. </span><span style="background-color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Rocky and Libby are the best pointers I have </span><i style="background-color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">ever</i><span style="background-color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> owned. </span><span style="background-color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">My dogs are hunted heavily from the middle of August till the end of March. The puppies are very well socialized, played with by my two little boys daily. It is common for my puppies to start pointing the wing as early as five weeks. I've lots of references. The puppies are selling for $500 each OBO. I know that right now times are tough, so I am open to all sorts of trades, ie... guns, archery equipment, reef aquarium supplies, just hit me up. You might be surprised with what I will accept. Thanks for looking. Call or Text 208-681-5495</span>

We have finally moved to eastern Idaho I now live on the north side of Idaho Falls. With the new move came challenges of where to find game.</p>
<p>West of Idaho Falls is some of my favorite country in the whole world.  As you can see in the first picture it is like a sea of sagebrush.  It goes on and on and on.  </p>
<p>In the second picture you'll see some sage grouse poop that I found a top of a cinder butte in the middle of nowhere.  Rising up from the desert floor gave me this beautiful overlook.</p>
<p>I have been fortunate enough to find sage grouse on every trip to the desert.  I'm looking forward to bringing 1 of these big beautiful birds to the bag.  One thing I love about the desert is being able to watch the dogs do their work.</p>
<p>Recently I had the chance to take Taron Keaton my older boys to the NAFA meet in Vernal Utah over the week of thanksgiving.  It was a good experience for all of us, But I'm afraid we might have to take a pass on future ones until the younger boys are old enough to go.</p>
<p>Thanks for looking and have a great hawking season.</p>

These are from Honky Tonk Additude lines from the male and from heavy Elhew Damascus lines on the female. As you can see they are full of point at only 6 weeks old. They will be ready to go to their new homes as early as next week. Please let me know if you are interested. They are $400 each + shipping. I know that time are tough for a lot of people right now, so I will consider all trades. I lean more towards hunting and fishing supplies. Just let me know what you have.

That was probably a mistake. I chose to fly her Friday after the trials and she was amazing, driving the pigion into cover. Pretty cool. Maybe next year.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div> This bird is Chloe. I chose lower her weight so I might get a better response in front of every one at the trials. That was also a mistake, because I got her to low. She was the one that I was most excited about and I screwed it up. Maybe next year with her also.<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_hgmGUCQbA04/S4xPjPLcnbI/AAAAAAAAAJU/7QZ55eQCyuc/s1600-h/UT-SKY-003_700.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 268px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5443813516372647346" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_hgmGUCQbA04/S4xPjPLcnbI/AAAAAAAAAJU/7QZ55eQCyuc/s400/UT-SKY-003_700.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>idbirdmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09933523073528199667noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8493179640481086916.post-35410605911004780212010-02-21T22:50:00.000-08:002010-02-21T23:02:52.630-08:00<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hgmGUCQbA04/S4Ip5GqcTPI/AAAAAAAAAJM/1xbJWnLiCjM/s1600-h/Buffet_MG_7664.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 247px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5440957360834890994" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hgmGUCQbA04/S4Ip5GqcTPI/AAAAAAAAAJM/1xbJWnLiCjM/s400/Buffet_MG_7664.jpg" /></a> Dancing with Chloe before our flight.<br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hgmGUCQbA04/S4Ip4ptCxZI/AAAAAAAAAJE/9UQVCawPAGM/s1600-h/buffet_MG_7737.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 394px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5440957353061172626" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hgmGUCQbA04/S4Ip4ptCxZI/AAAAAAAAAJE/9UQVCawPAGM/s400/buffet_MG_7737.jpg" /></a> Chloe wearing two of the best transmitters in the world by Merlin Systems.

Despite the wind, we had a great turn out of people from all over. Those that were patient and persistent got some real great flights. Sunday morning was the best weather of the weekend. Thank you to every one that participated and helped. There were several people that devoted a lot of their time and energies.</div></div></div></div></div>idbirdmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09933523073528199667noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8493179640481086916.post-54715048272856787682009-04-30T07:40:00.000-07:002009-04-30T07:50:12.084-07:00Just a couple of pics of a future breeder.<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_hgmGUCQbA04/Sfm5j5P9RnI/AAAAAAAAAEw/rSUwFBFdVAc/s1600-h/bird+for+Charles4.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5330495660284003954" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 222px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_hgmGUCQbA04/Sfm5j5P9RnI/AAAAAAAAAEw/rSUwFBFdVAc/s320/bird+for+Charles4.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hgmGUCQbA04/Sfm5j5Ja5uI/AAAAAAAAAEo/4xHryfLffms/s1600-h/bird+for+Charles3.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5330495660256585442" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 202px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hgmGUCQbA04/Sfm5j5Ja5uI/AAAAAAAAAEo/4xHryfLffms/s320/bird+for+Charles3.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_hgmGUCQbA04/Sfm5jgLuZHI/AAAAAAAAAEg/ydLp4VrMs0Q/s1600-h/bird+for+Charles2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5330495653555364978" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_hgmGUCQbA04/Sfm5jgLuZHI/AAAAAAAAAEg/ydLp4VrMs0Q/s320/bird+for+Charles2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_hgmGUCQbA04/Sfm5jqksljI/AAAAAAAAAEY/zztlsxsBTQ4/s1600-h/bird+for+Charles1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5330495656344458802" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 272px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_hgmGUCQbA04/Sfm5jqksljI/AAAAAAAAAEY/zztlsxsBTQ4/s320/bird+for+Charles1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>This Luscious.

We just made a real nice addition to the project. She is a 65oz female silver gyr falcon. I put her with a real nice jerkin. So we'll see if any thing happens. All I know is that there is alot of courting going on.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><p>2009 pairs</p><ul><li>Silver gyrs</li><li>Peales peregrines</li><li>Anatum peregrines</li><li>Columbarias merlins</li><li>Gyr/Peregrines</li><li>Gyr/Prairies</li><li>Peregrine/Prairies</li></ul>Please call or email if you have any questions.

I met Kelly Hardy and Rick Hoover (fellow falconer) where we gave a simple Q&A presentation of birds of prey. There was a great turn out despite the rainy weather. It was just nice to be able to get to know the two of them a bit better. I had the two hybrid falcons and Uma the Harris female. Rick brought his tiercel passage red tail, and Kelly brought her tiercel harris Seven. It was a lot of fun. I look forward to doing things with the two of them in the future.</div></div>idbirdmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09933523073528199667noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8493179640481086916.post-16025234445562164042008-09-18T12:24:00.001-07:002008-09-18T12:44:14.903-07:00Now it's Uma's turnToday (9/18/08) I flew <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Uma</span> my female Harris hawk. Today was her first flight flying free.

Just <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">before</span> she got there, the jack <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">disappeared</span>. She did this two more time. What an effort. She hasn't ever even seen a jack or fur for that matter. I probably need to just give her a baggy first. Pretty exciting stuff though.

The sun was just starting to drop over the hill. It was pretty cool outside with a very slight breeze. When I picked him up off the perch, I could tell that he was ready to fly. He gripped the glove and started pumping his wings intently. I slipped off the hood and away he went. Man! It was as if he never stopped for the summer. He didn't take a huge pitch but still pretty respectable. He was up about 400' when I released a very fast racing Homer. He put on the after burners in his stoop, touching the pigeon. Normally if he touches the bird he thinks that it is his. NOT this time. He chased it for about 15 minutes, finally braking it off when he realised he wasn't catching it. I quickly through out the lure and watched him come speeding down. Any time you get your bird back, it is a good flight. Pretty sweet. This year aught to be fun.
