On another note my apprentice and I trapped his second Red-tail of his apprenticeship. She's an average sized female, with sharp talons, and a nasty disposition. Should be killing squirrels, bunnies and who knows what else knowing Daniel in the coming weeks. His last Redtail was a well trained hunting machine and I wouldnt expect anything less with this bird.

Daniel and "Peaches"
Oh, I almost forgot, my family picked up another companion the other day. A 2 year old Hungarian Vizsla, named Bella. She was bought by a guy for his son to train on birds. His son being a teenager didn't teach the dog a darn thing. Nothing. Not even the most basic 'come" command. So she was a blank slate when we got her. Mostly she was great with the kids and that is why she came home with us. Turns out though that she is really birdy and honors points well. She now comes when called and we're progressing with her other training quickly. She's definitely become one of the family and it looks like I got another hunting partner too.
Sorry for the crummy quality, cell phone pics.
