What Time Of Year Are Harrisses For Sale?

[charlie caller 3,654]

Well lets hope its a flash in the pan so to speak, off to meet a landowner on sat morn to be shown round a new permission, so hopefully there wont be any about there, I need to check the state of some other permissions I have and not been on for a while as shooting and ferreting bunnies has taken rather a backseat over the last couple of years, with foxing and deerstalking taking priority,but this year with the new bird I will be bang at it again, yep will put some pictures up when I get him, think I might call him Bubba, good old hillbilly name that suits a redtail I think

lets hope them permissions turn out good then.

 

Bubba sounds a good name, sure you wont be calling him that though during initial training ha, might have to change his name to b*****d or something along those lines

what me? don't be ridiculous man, I have the patience of a saint haha yes I have just purchased a new flask, as I expect to be sitting under trees, for protracted periods of time, but it is a male and I recall my mates redtail being well behaved in that respect, but oh when he switched on he tried and usually succeeded in killing everything that moved, you got to love the redtails, cany wait to get him out on the lamp

Bought a new flask lol

i will be getting a few lamping sessions in when the nights get too short to have him out in the day, only ever tried it once with the hawk and didnt turn out too well, so im hoping for a better try this year

[charlie caller 3,654]

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.

[youcanthide...BANG 1,051]

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

[charlie caller 3,654]

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.

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.

[CrowHawker 227]

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.
