Hi I am no expert but I would say give it a go, why not! Just one word of caution if it is an angry type of red like some can be! You will need to be carful if he/she is grumpy and gets a bit nasty/tempremantal after missing a kill. Fine in the day when you can see them coming to have a pop at you but in the dark !! Ouch !!

Best let someone know where a bouts you are heading out just in case yo do need assistance, it's no good phoning them and saying help I'm in a big Feild somewhere in the dark.

Hope it goes well let us know how you get no?

I lamp my female red and have done for eight years. She has never hit a fence. Use strips from a high viz work vest to make high viz jesses. Telemetry is a must. Make sure the wind is not too strong. They miss the first 5 or six because they have to get use to judging distance under the lamp. As they aproach the rabbit to catch it their wings open up blocking the beam, so you have to move the lamp to the side. Start it on some close ones first. I can now send mine over the other side of the field for a rabbit and if she misses i just shine the lamp on my glove and she flys back without the need to call. You can fly them at a higher weight due to lack of distractions. Good luck n have fune.

They are fine if you exchange food for the kill. They don't like there kill being stolen. Also cover the kill so that they can not see it.
