With those big tires your tent looks smaller than mine but it is not. How high is the bottom of the tent from the ground? Looks great. :Wow1:

Lol, thanks Don. I'm not sure but I can get a measurement tomorrow. I have been talking to those folks that altered your annex and I need to get a good measurement for them. The nitto mud grapplers wear great (as long as theyre rotated) and get super sticky on the rocks so I've always ran them on my jeeps since they've been on the market.

When I was trying to get a good measurement I set the back panel on by itself and took my first measurement off of there. I finally ended up at 10" but if I was doing it again I would probably only do 9" but both would work for me and the bottom of my tent right at 5'.

Now that is a sharp looking combo.
Is the hawk trained to release the prey to you, of is it hers if she gets it?
It would be fun to have her over and let my neighbors with small yappy dogs scatter
when she took flight!

She is trained to "trade off" meaning after she catches and dispatches the prey, I trade her a small piece of meat in exchange for the squirrel, rabbit, etc. She hunts with my dog and picks up on the dogs body language when he finds something to point then flush. We are careful not too hunt too close to houses as small/toy breeds would be easy prey for a hawk her size.
As for the harvested animal. I clean them and freeze them and end up feeding her through the summer the majority of what she has killed. All of us local falconers do meet up towards the end of the season (late Feb) and have a wild game cookout pot luck sort of thing where we eat, drink and share good hunting stories from the season. Those of us who also fly falcons harvest duck, dove and quail...some of which makes it's way into a gumbo. 5 or 6 Rabbit recipes, rabbit fricasee being my personal favorite, are usually on the menu as well as top knotch bourbon and scotch. Good times.

Got them off of eBay. Superbriteleds.com has some wide beam ones that I've seen people use. They were like 6 or 7 bucks a piece with shipping. Just match up the traditional bulb #. They are a lot brighter than regular bulbs and you can still use the original 24 volt harness. I just wired a 4 pin plug to mine to hook up to my jeep.
