Billings USPS Distribution Center apparently had 30+ employees walk off a month or two ago. Its been an absolute mess since then for all mail delivery going thru Billings.
I am running a lot because I am signed up for this: https://www.transalpine-run.com/
Hopefully I dont hurt myself between now and then. Also, hopefully us Merkans arent banned from entry before then.
Also, my wirehair griff, the beauty queen Ms Olive, that I’ve mentioned in these bird topics passed away in January. She would have been 13 in March. I miss her a lot - she was my best girl and was my falconry dog until a couple seasons ago when the arthritis really started and she couldn’t do...
No. They made a scrape and courted quite heavily but didn’t copulate. They will produce this summer.
I was offered a female from Marks other pair. Was offered a free bird from another breeder, too. Turned them down. Captive falcons breed a month earlier than those in the wild so the first...
Science accounts for mine.

I’d say, ‘buy a bunch of Magic cards’, but I’m off the cardboard crack and onto the plastic crack so instead I’ll say, ‘buy a bunch of Warhammer 40K stuff’.
Yes. If you think the dog is demotivator to big game hunting, try adding a falcon to the mix.
I am happy to shoot 2-3 whitetail in my back yard these days. Even this season taking off of falconry, the first in 12, I find myself choosing just running the dog rather than looking for elk (I...
On the binary scale - the only scoring system I have or will ever recognize - with a 0 being NO and a 1 being YES, all of the deer pictured on this topic, including the original, are solid 1s which means I am shooting every time.
