This is a wild hawk, so I really so not know how much they charge to hunt with tame birds. Sorry...

I have an 8,000 ac. semi private hunting operation in south Georgia and have a couple of prospective clients that want to hunt small game with red tail hawks. I have no Idea what to charge for this type of hunting. Could you please email me any experiences you have had I would appreciate any advice you could give me.

Well done!! I love to observe wildlife in their daily grind. The flick of a does tail to her fawn, the chatter of an angry squirrel or the scream of a hunting hawk really opens my mind to the grandeur of all Creation. I am absolutely amazed at your good fortune to take these photos and share them.

Now you see what all of us falconers see. The bird you photographed is a young bird in his fist year(not very good at hunting and not afraid of people yet) To me he looks like a small male from his size.

Ron,

Excellent! I stumbled across a post on birdersworld linking to your pbase. The entire gallery is excellent but "The Bunny Killer" is my favorite.

Very nicely done.

Regards,

patrick

Remarkable photography!!!
Guest 24-Jun-2004 04:16
Im working on an art project of a hawk in flight, your photos will be a big help. Thanks!
Melanie04-Jun-2004 19:37
Awesome gallery you have here! A day in the life of a hawk. OK, well maybe not a day, but...
jypsee06-May-2004 15:57
I like this gallery because you've managed to tell the story of what the hawk does, day in and day out. Forget "flight shots." They're just humdrum, run-of-the-mill, not that interesting, frankly. I want to see the bird as more than an icon. Your gallery does that. Fabulous work and with a 28-135, at that!! Just fabulous!
Guest 21-Apr-2004 03:56
Wow! Wonderful gallery. Great subject and timing...not to mention your excellent photo skills. Learned something from this series of yours. Thanks!
Jörgen Bergström01-Apr-2004 09:24
Ah!!! What a gallery. Great!
Guest 23-Mar-2004 20:20

Guest 18-Mar-2004 17:57

Ron:

Just have to comment. I'm a professional photographer with 15+ years in the business. Stumbled onto your pics by accident surfing for camera information. One word for you. Stunning!

Nuf' said.

Cheers!

Ron, these are magificent photos of a magnificent creature! It was a Red-tailed Hawk that initially brought me into shooting wildlife.
I enjoyed reading of your experience also. That makes me feel as if I was actually there. Although your photos do that very well on their own! Keep up the great work.
See you in the good light!

Anthony Bunting16-Feb-2004 01:17
Wow, how cool is this? You were in the right place at the right time and with a good camera. I love these images.
Bill Pruitt15-Feb-2004 04:07
Terrific gallery Ron,
Looks like the Hawk was after you! I bet your heart rate was off the scale.
Ian Chappell13-Feb-2004 06:46
Fantastic gallery Ron, gets my vote!!
Jennifer Zimmerman13-Feb-2004 06:18
WOW! Most of us in our lifetime will never see a hawk this close up, but to see this hunting story in such fabulous photos......Congrats to you!
Ron Lutz II13-Feb-2004 04:28
Yes, he did get the rabbit. He ate it not ten feet from me. He was in such tight brush thay I couldn't get a good shot. I'll see if I can add one or not...
Tom Murray13-Feb-2004 03:58
Great shots Ron. Did he get the rabbit after all that work?
Will 12-Feb-2004 22:43
Hi Ron,

A friend of yours pointed me to this gallery. Awesome shots, and what a great time you must have had. Truly magical. Thanks. Love dem birds.
Snapping Turtle12-Feb-2004 00:35
Outstanding pictures! Great to see either if you love hawks or not. I wonder if my digital rebel can do the same.
Guest 11-Feb-2004 15:20
Ron, Great shots of the hawk. Most of us can only dream about getting that close to one. I shared your photos with some of my coworkers and they couldn't understand my fascination with such an awe-inspiring creature. They just don't get it.
jeanb11-Feb-2004 15:05
This is a wonderful series Ron. I am so jealous!
Gene11-Feb-2004 13:10
Fantastic series Ron! I am jealous :) I've yet to get some good hunting/flight shots of hawks. The ones I've seen hunt have been from a perch and have nailed their prey in a fraction of a second, not giving me much to shoot, so I think this series is really special. Man they are wonderful to watch hunt up close eh?

They look fantastic to me!

You are a great reminder of the truth of the adage - "F8 and Being There". Wonderful natural action shots of a hungry predator - and we get to see them because of you. You can always finish your coffee later... It took practice and skill to keep up with him, and the images are fascinating.

The dive shot is one of the best I've seen even with the bad light. Great stuff what a treat.

Great gallery, very nice work!
Jill10-Feb-2004 14:33
Wonderful - just wonderful!
Phyllis Stewart10-Feb-2004 07:18
Looks like a wild time! The bird may not be all in frame in each shot, but that adds to the impression of speed and movement. I love the poses you have captured!
bill burke10-Feb-2004 06:18
Incredible shots Ron. It was like he was putting a show on for you.
Jill10-Feb-2004 02:31
Facinating, powerful images!
