The New Snark Thread

I just use Duluth Packs. Except for food packs, cheap nylon ones for them for when the bear hauls it off or slices it open.
 
So in the last idk how long it's been since I last checked in here I've done a few things. By far the coolest thing I got into is falconry. I'm a falconer now. I have a red tailed hawk named Blaster. She finally doesn't want to kill me (all the time) now which is nice. Our hunting season was short and we hardly saw any game. Because of that we didn't have a successful hunt, but I think I learned a lot. I really just wanna share a picture of my hawk on the internet. 😉😉

I haven't made a knife or sheath for around 5 years. Things have been busy or I've been staying busy.

Hell who's left around here? I saw a few familiar names in my lurking.

Dude! Welcome back, what an entrance! :-D
 
I wanted to get into falconry. I read that you had to find a master falconer to teach you how, then it took 2 years to become a general falconer, and another 5 years after that to become a master falconer. Here's one of my favorite videos on how to capture and train:

I doubt I'll upgrade again. I obviously don't come play enough for that anymore.

Super cool, love to see that. Find it very impressive to see the big birds on the hunt.

It is super cool. They have personalities just like everything else.

I'll have to figure out if I still have an account there and how to get in it. Thanks!

I've seen that one a few times. It's not as hard as the internet makes it seem. Depending on the state there are different rules but that's about what it is. If like to get a great horned owl eventually.

I recommend looking more into it. There aren't that many left. I guess there are only around 200 licensed falconers out here in my state.

The most fulfilling part for me so far has been her flying back to me. I can't wait until I can get her on some game.

I need to figure out this picture thing and I'll post up.

I would have a hard time doing it these days. I'm on disability now. Not impossible, just difficult.
 
Have had many health issues. Nearly died of covid at the end of 2020. Double covid pneumonia, etc. Did a week in the hospital, and over 3 months at home on oxygen. Suffering from long covid. Then at the end of 2022, I had influenz a, double pneumonia, diagnosed with copd, blood clot in my right lung, and covid again, all in the same month. 3 trips to ER 3 weekends in a row. Not to mention arthritis, tendonitis, and tendinosis in various parts of my body. Fun, fun...

Holy fun! (I assume that f word is ok to use?)

Save some of that for the younger guys Dubz! There is no reason for you to hog it all for yourself!

I have two of your last three things on your list of accomplishments.

Glad you're still on this side of the dirt keeping the forum going!
 
Saw three Bald Eagles feeding on a road kill deer yesterday. For a decade or so they stay all year round feeding on car killed deer instead of migrating. And they say there are no deer around. Cars kill more deer than hunters! And this is with a healthy wolf population around.
