Hunting with birds?

It´s a really special way to hunt using birds of prey, i know in some countries here in Europe it´s allowed to use Falcons for Rabbit hunting. This clip though i think they´ve taken it a bit too far when hunting Roedeer with what looks to me as an Eagle. I came across this clip this morning and im not sure were it´s taken probably somewhere here in Europe as im pretty sure it´s an European Roedeer thats targeted. (This page turns to hunters but for those of you who dont like animals getting killed dont press play in this window.)

First "Red" after homecoming.

My first stand of the day delivered three "Reds" after 20 minutes, got a shot on two but one just slipped back into the den and got just out of reach for me., and the third got second thoughts when he heard the two shots fired and turned to the bush again. I settled just before sunrise and started off with a jackrabbit distress from Rudy "the stone coyote calls" and tried a few different ones on my lanyard and nothing happend.
After 25 minutes or so i thought of giving up but i tried for the last time and decided to take a call that reaches out a bit longer so i blew my latest toy the "Cow tip call" from Tony Tebbe and suddenly two ears appeared on a small hill in the middle of the field.
I gave the call a few more blows and suddenly there were two foxes comin straight at me, a took out the "TSCC" jackrabbit again and then they got in real close but as a said the first got a bad hit and ran back to its den, but the second one dropped right were it stood. The third one ran off when he realised what was going on so i still have him to trick this weekend....
I didnt get hold of a dog to drag the fox out of the den, too bad he had a real nice pelt who would have fit on the wall here next to the others.

Got the new bullets.

Got home a hundred of these babies the other week, thay are to be loaded after this season and used for next years foxhunts, can´t wait to get them ready....

Globe auction call

One of my mooseantler calls will be up for auction on the Predator Masters annual hunt in Globe Arizona, heres how it looks next to a coyote skull (pic by Tony Tebbe), Tony Tebbe sent it with a few of his own calls to raise money to benefit the http://www.predatormastersforums.com/ and the hunt in Globe. Im curious to see what the final bid will be.

The move is done!!

On Saturday the 2:nd of Febuary me and my family moved home to our town of birth, everything has turned out great and my wife got a job in three days. Im still home with our 15 months daughter and looking for a new job, the good thing about being unemployed in this time of year is that the Redfox gone into their heat and runnin around everywere. Got the internet connection settled today so im updating on everything i forgot to before the move...
