Caught a Female weighing in at 46.5 ounces just north of McAlester on highway 69/75. I am done with trapping, Ihave been trapping most days for since August the 1st ( 3 months ) now this will do for this seasons. Started manning down, the usual dead chicken routine went on for 3 hours and i put her away after 8 hours of manning, you forget how tired your arm muscles get ! She is very different from Zoie alot lighter in the chest and face and willows tail feathers are darker. Not the male i wanted but shes a very impressive bird and now we have extended trapping season i can keep looking but at my own leasure.

Thanks both of you, i actually thought she was small until we weighed her. Now looking im thinking oh man what have i let myself in for
She definitly looks like a big bird. Much bigger than mine. :) Hope the manning goes well, looking forward to reading about a great season.
Thanks Jake i really appriciate that
Good looking bird - and I love the name.
Red tails can be so much fun. Are you focusing on rabbits again this year?
hey doug no will be on squirells
All I can say is "Thank God your done trapping" I didn't think we would ever get done trapping,and that is the best part but it can get old.
I must say the more I look at that photo, the more I like it!
