Nice one are you going to keep them?

[IAmTheWeasel]

Hehehehe....Speaking of Coops, I have a nice nest just around the corner from my house. I check on them regularly and I recently got some photo's of them. The pics are crappy since I used my camcorder and had to zoom in a long way.

[Dude]

great pics :)

[Moses]

lol u guys are so lucky :D u can trap them anytime :D nice one

guys bullet is a fellow scotsman and so cool and a fellow celtic man :D who immigrated to the usa long long time ago

[IAmTheWeasel]

So am I!!!! I was born in Wigan....then got the hell out of there as fast as we could and moved to Ashton

[Moses]

lol makes u english then not a scot :D nice one , how different is life their compared to chavy uk its full of neds and chavs i bet u dont even know what that means now in uk slang :D

[IAmTheWeasel]

No I don't have a clue what that means.....I was too young when we moved to South Africa to remember what it was like in the UK. I can say that I do enjoy going to the UK for vacations as I like quite a few things about it better than the states....Or I find some things quaint. I like the way ya'll drive alot more than they do here and I just love the tiny country roads that everyone seems to do 90mph on. It is certainly neat to see how the absolute most is made of the small space available to the average person such as the gardens. I guess we take it a bit for granted having alot of room here in Texas. I usually only go to the UK to visit a few realtives and to head to the Isle of Man for the TT....
Cheers,
Weasel

[IAmTheWeasel]

At the moment, A whole lot of nothing. I turned my FRT loose a few months ago and plan on trapping a passage female coopers hawk this fall.

[Moses]

[Kornie]

on the subject of chavs moses, furthermore there is high concentration of chavs/neds/townies/scum in glasgow, they drink "bucky" and fight only when they outnumber opossition by approximately 10:1. A brave chav fights on a ratio of 5:1.

[Varmint]

A small chap runs at a ratio of 2:1 Kornie! :wink: :lol:

[IAmTheWeasel]

Moses, I will be hunting small birds such as pigeons, quail, starlings, sparrows etc.... I can even go for rabbits with a female coopers hawk. They are quite high strung birds from those I have talked with who have flown them, so it will be keeping me busy that's for sure.

We've got plenty of them here in spain, too. They ride small scooters, have their hair cut in bizarre styles and are always talking about drugs, crappy music and their fighting skills.

8) Here they are now guy's , 4 weeks later! Checkout the feet on the female, they are as big as the feet on my female prairie falcon.I'm going to begin hacking these guys in a few days. Happy 4th to all !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SparsTheOne]

[Bullet_Jesses]

8) Here they are this morning, hanging out on my deck.Next thing you know they will be asking for a couple of margaritas ? The female is on the lower right. cheers Jim.C

[Goldie]

Jim, by my reckoning, they must be about 7 wks now. How long will you keep them at what i presume is tame hack?

[Bullet_Jesses]

8) They are just over 6 weeks now Goldie. I have hacked coops before, for as long as 3 weeks.I think I'll probably go a couple of weeks with them or until one of my neighbours complains.I use the lure quite a bit during this time also. cheers Jim.C
P.S. Had the local adult female coops visit them yesterday and what was possibly one of her offspring from last year just about 5mins ago.
