SeanTheHawker 0 Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 i did write up a big report, but some prat turned the computer off, so this is the short version, out last night, bright moon, and not to breezy. start of the night was bad with only seeing a few rabbits and hardly getting near anyway. tried a differenet part of farm and had a few good flights. one kill was a decent one along the edge of the field, another was a squatter, which he caught and got a bit of a dragging from. cudnt hunt on after that as i think he deserved a feed after holding it so long. heres the video of the last rabbit and heres a pic, forgot camera, but had to do still form video Quote Link to post

SeanTheHawker 0 Posted October 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 cheers lads, out last night so may be more footage coming very interesting whats your catch ratio as compared to a lurcher on the lamp regards diggory it really depends on conitions,sometimes you get 3 in 3 flights, soemtimes go for hours for one rabbit. usually about 1 in 6 or so tho. will change as the rabbits get cuter tho Quote Link to post

SeanTheHawker 0 Posted October 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 sorry i aint posted any hutning reports recently, my camera has decided to go walk abouts. anyway, headed out last night with kev. got to farm at about 11:15. had about 6 flights and 3 rabbits. 1 rabbit was a squatter, you can see in the video, i gave it plenty of time, stampign my feet, but it just wouldnt bolt, eventually i just slipped rolf on it, and he caught it just leaving the seat, quite impressed at him, not often he gets the squatters. 2nd kill was brilliant flight, another squatter, but it outwitted him and he missed it twice before catchign it, then got kicked off a few seconds later, but he got up and caught it again, this time secured it. in the clip of this, the rabbit is dispatch, and the rabbits still moving through nerves just. 3rd kill was an easy one, bird caught it before it got 10 yards from its seat, it was needed tho, as he was gettign wet and starting to loose his edge. sorry i cant go into more detail about the night, but gotta run and get ready for heading out again tonight lol. heres a video from last night sean Quote Link to post
