    to get Roxie my Redtail to start flying to my fist outside, It's amazing how quick they tame down after being caught from the wild..
    In case some didn't see my first post - here she was on day one fresh out of the bownet.. all kinds of ticked off ...

    Add two weeks of manning and she's like whole different bird..

    Now I'm concentrating on training her with the lure - once she has that down good, we should be ready for free flight and hunting rabbits by early next week if all goes well. I'll be sure to keep you all posted of our adventures.
    Take care

    That is one of the coolest things I have ever seen - and the photos are great. To follow up on Isaiah's post from the game. The eagle flight was amazing to watch - slightly funny when he didn't want to come down from the sky, but gorgeous to watch. I don't know how you do what you do with those birds, but...WOW! Congratulations on your success thus far!
