20 ft up a tree trying to get to a stag to get his leg band off.

Got the stag. It's a little harder climbing back down with a bird in one hand

Here he is. Not the best pic but oh well

Only handled this one twice, once to put the band on and tonight. Calm in hand but wild as h*ll otherwise. Lol

RH,bag em in a cotton pillow case,then lower em down by a rope might save yu from a fall .

Stag coming up pretty well. Too tame for good pick as he does not get tough when I approach. He is one of those that will jump on me if I sit in a chair reading where he will then lay down and start working on his feathers. Voice has not changed either.

Still looking for me some pullets or hens may have a lead on some.

I have a 18' pole that collapses down to 4', it's a big beefy pole used for pulling wire above the ceiling or in attics. It's called a Grabbit pole, anyway, I taped a 8" piece of a 2x2 board on the end of it. At night when they're on their roost you can extend it up to the bird's breast and they'll step on to it, then just start collapsing it down and take the bird off his new roost. Very simple

That's a great system. The tree they were in though was more of a sapling. I'd never been able to get a board snaked up to where he was with all the little branches. I was using an 18ft decoy retriever but he kept just going around the tree to another branch. Wasn't sure the tree was gonna hold me lol

it's only a 8 inch piece of a 2x2 taped to the end of it, you don't really need that much, 5 or 6 inches will work.

Oh ok. Think I may make one and try it out. It's gonna get old climbing up after them.
