For the first official day of the meet (Sunday) through the final day, I honestly could not have dreamed of a better realistic forecast for our meet. Hope your birds are keen and ready!

Hawk the golf course for rabbits!

The Rawls Golf Course, owned by Texas Tech University, within the city limits of Lubbock, has provided us with an unprecedented, one day opportunity to hawk rabbits on the golf course. The golf course is closing for one full day to accommodate NAFA. This is a big deal, as the course has not closed for any reason except Christmas Day in many years. Rabbits are abundant on the golf course property. Population estimates for black-tailed jackrabbits and cottontails combined are above 20 rabbits per acre on the course. It is a priority for the golf course to catch as many rabbits as possible, so priority will be given to groups of Harris’s hawks, but goshawks and red-tails will also be welcome.

If you would like to hawk the course, you must coordinate with me for a time slot on Tuesday, December 4th. There are ten one hour time slots available. If you plan to hawk many birds, it may be possible to reserve a two hour block. You must stay on schedule and unless an emergency happens, be done hawking, with your birds put up at the end of your one hour block. Time slots begin at 7:30 am (sunrise) and the last slot begins at 4:30 pm, ending at 5:30 pm (sunset). If you are interested, please send me an email at [email protected] and we can discuss reserving you a slot. Please tell me how many birds you plan to hawk and include a phone number. I’ll have the full schedule at the meet and will confirm with you on Monday, December 3rd. Attached is a map of the Rawls course so you can determine if you would like an opportunity to hawk the course.

Thank you,

Three more days to cash in on early registration discounts for the Lubbock NAFA meet, December 2nd-7th.

About ten days ago I caught this rooster pheasant crossing the road. I found the daughter of the landowner and gave her my land acquisition letter. Yesterday, her father called me and told me we could hunt the 1100 acres where we saw this guy! At this moment we have 25 SQUARE MILES of land to hunt within thirty minutes of the hotel, with even more farther out. You don’t want to miss this one. If you haven’t already, register now!

Just 35 days until the NAFA meet in Lubbock. Expect a big section of the upcoming monthly President’s message to be devoted to information about the meet. We’ll show how the shirts and hats will look, publish a schedule, and give a few reminders. Early bird registration ends November 10th. Quarry is bountiful!

Here's the last rainfall total from last night's rain event for the southern Texas Panhandle. Still two more months to put water in ponds and a growing El Nino to help. Rabbit numbers are reported to be good. Expect a scouting report with photos October 14th.

There has been one phone number sent in an email for the official meet hotel that was incorrect.

The correct number to book for the MCM Elegante in Lubbock is 888-217-1426 if you’re going to book by phone. You can also book by the official link that was sent, which is correct.

Thank you and sorry for any inconvenience.
