Missouri Falconry Association

2005 Fall Field Meet

 

 

 

The annual field meet will be held in the St. Louis area on the 22nd of October 2005. We will kick off the meet Saturday morning at 7:00am at the Steak and shake at the intersection of Highway’s K and N in O’Fallon, Missouri

 

Directions Interstate I 70 to Highway K. South on highway K to highway N. The restaurant is on the Northeast corner of the intersection.

 

There will time for breakfast, and introductions before heading to the fields. We will line out a meeting place for lunch and a short business meeting during the warmest part of the day. Latecomers please give me a call at 816-507-9275 and I’ll give you directions to the area currently being hunted.

 

 Rob Lyttle is hosting the meet and has found ample fields with game. If you never hunted rabbits in the St. Louis area, it is worth the drive from your location. You should not be disappointed! As a friend Toby Bradshaw once said” It is really not fair to use the word hunt and rabbits in the same sentence when describing or discussing the St. Louis area.”

 

 On another note if you are interested in trapping a new tail, the area has a large population. One of my best hawks ever came from the St. Louis area. I know that several people have filled their slots with good birds during past meets in St. Louis. This might be a great place to learn some new trapping lure and or share information with other falconers.

 

I hope to see you there.
