    Hawk attempt-how long do i wait?

    I was a falconer in my misspent youth. They remember places they've made a kill. It makes sense, if a critter was in a particular spot, chances are there are factors there that attracted it that translates to others of the same species.

    What kind of dog do you have!?

    Airedales have a big personality, too. They have you bouncing between cursing and laughing. Luckily the laughing gets to be the major reaction to them. They can certainly be a hand full. They also, true to there terrier breeding, are diggers. Mine dug out and killed groundhogs on occasion...
