Looking for permission on private land.

Hey guys I am trying to locate some more private land thats wooded to fly my red tail on after squirrels, and rabbits. Took a guy to a place last year and now he claims it as his. Will just be me and the bird and you if interested in tagging along. He will also hunt squirrels that people have problems with on bird feeders and not touch a bird. Thanks Landon

Guess subdivisions are a no-no? If not my father-in-law would pay you to clear some of his tree rats out!

Subdivisions are great if there arent any dogs running loose. They scare my bird so bad he wont come back to me for a long time. After I had surgery I flew him in the neighborhood all the time just to get him out.

Loose as in in a fenced yard or around the hood?

 

[deadeye531]

Mainly around the hood.

I will check the next time I am there. His place is infested with the dang things, and driving him nuts!

What part of town is he in? Let me know and we'll get together. He wont start hunting for about another month or so. Still re-growing a few feathers.

South side of Cleveland.

Deadeye, i think its awesome that you partake in Falconry! When I was in school for Wildlife Mgmt we went out to the GA state meet in Sylvester and had an AWESOME time! There were everything from Red-Tails to Merlins and Coopers. I had never even heard about this type of hunting until then and I must say that it was some of the most fun Ive had in a long time. Getting to see those birds up close like that and watch them do what they were put on the earth to do is an unreal experience, and it anybody here has never witnessed any form of Falconry, I HIGHLY suggest you all get up with DeadEye the next time he goes. You will be blown away!

2000 If you ever want to go out again let me know. The guys in Ga are the ones that actually push me to get started after 6 years of thinking. I hunt with them all the time. This year I will have my red tail and thinking about another bird and my apprentice will be getting his red tail next month.

Erik I will let you know when he is ready to hunt and we will go
