So are you getting a bird this year? If so are you going to train it to the custom gauntlet?Yarak
PS: you can intro yourself on the welcome thread under general.
Just now reading the board again and saw you asked me a question....
and I did do an intro......heading : introduction
I am trapping hopefully this week. I had stated I was going to get a female RT. But due to my neck injury I will be trapping a male Kestrel instead. And I will probably be using 2 gloves with my bird. My old custom glove for feeding as it's thrashed. And I ordered a new lighter glove from www.mikesfalconry.com It's the Rogue gauntlet ( basic but looks like it will work). I'm adding a D-ring and safety w/ french snap to it...tho I may have to change out the french snap for something lighter.
My custom Columbia glove is double thickness for the Hawks and Owls.
My other thought is that I have a friend who loves to work with leather who wants to try cleaning my glove. If it turns out well I'll keep using that as my show glove for my sponsor's birds and get another light glove for the Kestrel. I'd like to have 2 gloves for the Kestrel as I do public demos and would prefer a "pretty" glove for the shows. I like good equipment.
And in case any one wonders my Kestrel will be hunted. It just will also go with me to shows when possible so the kids can see another native species.
I do not want to use my welding glove for my Kestrel.
