Cisco came in at a hefty 920 body weight. It was cool and sunny. Early on I second guessed him after he watched a couple of squirrels before following. I was wrong. Within a minute or two Cisco had a squirrel up on the side of a tree. He neatly pulled it off and dropped straight down into a big grove of palmetto. Unfortunately, palmetto can be loud and his falconer ran in to help him. When I hit the palmetto, it sounded like a cannon going off and a squirrel was gone.. Cisco didn't want me to feel bad so he went back to hunting. It was a little slow for a few minutes but pretty soon he peeled off another one this time. This time gliding about 100 ft off instead of into the palmetto. Most of the time when I second guess Cisco I'm wrong. Arnold helped. He was pretty good today. He got a small squirrel tidbit to eat. All is good.
