That was my question, as well. What do you hunt with him? You said. ''fresh from the trap.'' Do you catch them in traps and then train them to hunt for you?   Mike

Yes, trap them and ttrain them to come to you. I hunt mostly squrrels with redtails. Starlings and grackles with kestrels. Squrrels are pretty tough customers with big teeth and he's mightly little. He can do it if he has the right attitude.
