    Matt Rinella knocking it outta the park

    Was the nonsense Doug was always posting not complete satire and outright trolling? I really thought he was posting utter fabrications to get a rise out of people and have a few laughs - was he serious?

    My birdfriend's back and they're gonna be in trouble (Hey la, hey la, my birdfriend's back)

    I am taking 2 days off between flights and he is going back to the breeder in the first half of January. He is at a point where he doesn’t need to fly every day unless I want my lift of homers emptied out. It’ll be bittersweet and I’ll miss him.

    Roach and I don’t have many (any?) pictures together so we took a selfie with his hun when we got back to the vehicle. He was over 1000’ when they flushed but they were a good way from cover luckily. We only have 10, maybe 12, flights left together.

    You can only kill one next year

    Meh-lk will let me take the next season off from big game hunting from having more meat so I pick that.

    I have shingles at the moment. Really minor but still really fun.

    Doubt it. She’s just been watching enough to think she might capitalize on the opportunity. I’ve had various raptors follow the dog around in the past - the most fun to watch are the Merlin’s. They are opportunistic and fairly smart. I got my trapping stuff situated and am carrying a bait...

    Saw the prairie again in the field just north of last time. Roach didn’t stoop the flush which was odd then I caught sight of her chasing the huns. She came back and followed Greta around a short time before flying off. Roach stayed above us over 1000’ and only came down when she was gone...

    She was a wild prairie falcon that came in to fight with Roach. Just happened to get to witness a nice flight from her on some huns. Just another reason I enjoy doing this - never know what to expect and sometimes its some interesting stuff.

    I got a nice flight from a prairie falcon today. Finally ran the field that had the cows in it. There were no grouse, but there was 3 coveys of huns - all of them large, ~20 bird, coveys. The first w2 were real close to one another and close to the gate as we walked in - not the best shot...

    Took him three tries today. Three separate coveys. Next two days off.

    Ramping down the season. Going to only fly every second or even every third day until early January when he will go into the breeding chamber. He is in too good of shape for gamehawking. His consistent pitch is now 1300’. He mounts really wide, almost a mile out at times, then come back and...
