Red Tail Female Swop For Female Harris

[charlie caller 3,654]

Thanks for the advice mr Charlie caller when you say a instant response that's the problem even at 10 feet seen other reds on you tube etc and they are coming soon as the fist goes up . Just have to keep doing shorter distances and bigger rewards

That is exactly it mate, distance does not matter much, its response you need, do not make the mistake of shortening the distance to try and get her to come, you will just teach her to make you wait, start at 10 yards, big reward try a couple of times, if she refuses put the food away and put her away without any grub, when you find a weight she will come quickly at, hold her there and work her hard for her rations, then get her obsessed by the lure, I would use a plain leather pad with a chick or two tied on, try and get her to step off the lure when she has finished her meal, then as her fitness builds, get a rabbit carcass, and pull it for her and let her have a good feed, dont trade her off until she is nearly cropped up, and trade her off with rabbit, cover the rabbit with a cloth/towel while you offer her a glove reward, be careful, redtails take these type of carcass chases very seriously indeed, and she MUST NOT feel robbed, then get her out on the real thing, and enjoy, reds can be bloody frustrating when you have been used to the relative ease of a Harris, but dont give up, it will be worth it in the end, trust me
