charlie caller 3,654 Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 He will soon switch on to it mate, recall him at night to your glove illuminated with your headtorch, get somebody to pull the lure for you, with a good reward,he will soon be catching them pal. Quote Link to post
youcanthide...BANG 1,051 Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Thats the plan, last year he just watched them hop away so i didnt pursue it as i had enough time to hunt him in the day, will be a nice change Quote Link to post
charlie caller 3,654 Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 (edited) The males seem to take a little bit longer to switch on to the lamp for some reason, but he will, fed up on the bunny lure in the spotlight he will soon get it mate.

potpoacher 27 Posted July 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 can you tell me a bit more about moulting out and lamping with harrises and redtails? is there any difference between a harris and a redtail when it comes to lamping? 1 last question, can you fly reds in a cast? I presume that you cant, its only harrises but just checking. Quote Link to post
CrowHawker 227 Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 I new someone who flew a breeding pair together but I wouldn't recommend it. I've never done lamping I've only seen a hawk eagle on the lamp. Quote Link to post
