HEAD COUNTS

[Minca]

Did you handicap the call ducks at all, like clipping their wings? Instill some confidence in an easy kill....

[LeeSlikkers]

Nope but these particular call ducks weren't exactly the wildest things I've seen....they'd barely run when I chased they around yelling Ho HO HO....she just watched the 1st one run around for 3-4 minutes before finanly committing to it...the 2nd and last time I tried it she finally slammed it after I chased it for about 10 seconds and only after it opened its wings and flapped a bit.

She is wed pretty heavily to Rabbits I think....

Iam in a dry spell this week but were getting some slips so its only a matter of time.

[rt]

score as of today 15 squirrels,5 rabbits, and 1 mallard duck. She caught a squirrel today thank god its been a rough week.

[Tiercel78]

Head counts as of this weekend is 17 GreySquirrels. Ruger caught one more before the weather moved in. Though, I did see another cottontail and almost added him to the list. Thats the secound cottontail I've seen in Florida. Too bad there isn't more of them around here.

[BlueTiercel]

i wonder if the brainworm hit em like it did in Mass. i have heard its responsible for the big cottontail die off that happend a few years ago.

[rt]

Ive been seeing good cottontail numbers in va but seeing and catching are 2 different things.

[Jay]

Both cotton tails and squirrel are way down here in Mass. I am up to 5 bunnies, 6 squirrels, a rat, a snake, and tons of mice/moles/voles. Seems low to most, but is actualy considered a good season here in Mass, and its not over yet.

Around here the best rabbit hawkers call a good season 15-20 kills. This year has been worse than normal, expecialy with the snow they just sit right next to their holes. I was down on Cape Cod a week ago dropping off my bird for vacation and my sponsor was telling me how he finaly got his first bunnie in 2 weeks, I found this amazing as this is a faloner who usaly takes over the 20 rabbit kills a season.

[rt]

Well Iam done for the year Iam seeing to many babies out and on their way so Iam calling it a year my total for my first season as a falconer is 15 squirrels,5 rabbits, and 1 mallard duck. It wasnt the headcount I was hoping for and I still have another month to hunt but I feel its not fair to the game they need their full energy to raise their young and thus ensure another good year for me.

[Weasel]

Total for the season here is 37 head...........
2 unmentionable birds, 1 rat, 1 racoon, 1 copper head snake, 1 rabbit and 31 squirrels. from September 14th to February 22nd.
