So he was out for his first hunt tonight, did not manage to catch, but soooo close, did a proper wingover into the gorse, heard a bang and a squeal when I get there he is staring down a hole, so it must have just got out of his grasp and down the hole, anyway walking back later I kick one out of some reeds for him, and off they go up the bankside, I lost sight of them and as I get to the top of the bank, up a tree he goes, the farmer who was stood by the gate filling some water butts, had a massive grin on his face, he said Bubba was on its arse right until the last second when it made some round bales, just before he could nail it so I am chuffed with him, will work my ass off now to get him on his first kill

[youcanthide...BANG 1,051]

Great to hear mate, its an absolute nightmare at the minute with all the cover, im working my bollocks off trying to get some flights only for the rabbits to make to cover just too thick for the hawk to get through, but it never tires watching him keep trying,

well done bud wont be long now

[youcanthide...BANG 1,051]

How you getting on bud?

[charlie caller 3,654]

Gave him the night off last night, so I think I am going to try him on the lamp later, he is so damn close to that first kill, just needs that little bit of luck and it will be there.

its the same over here, its all luck at the minute with the cover, that first kills right around the corner though

[charlie caller 3,654]

Yep it is mate will see if he has any interest in them on the lamp tonight, just have to keep pressing on until it comes.

[youcanthide...BANG 1,051]

Well let us know how he gets on whether he kills or not, carnt be any worse than my attempt lol

[charlie caller 3,654]

Well I am not expecting great things pal, but if ya don't try as they say, but even if he don't catch at least I can do some after dark recalls.

[arcticgun 4,548]

lampign a good way to get an easy kill especialy this time of year , you need sumat well out in open and seated, be just the ticket, tonite could be the night best of luck pal

[charlie caller 3,654]

Well cos I was a bit time limited I took him to a permission quite close to home theres a few bunnies but not a lot, finally got him a slip on one and he just missed as the little darling got under an out building before he could grab it, but at least he chased, not bad for a bird thats never been lamping before, out again this evening to chase the first kill once more

[arcticgun 4,548]

tonites the nite then pal, hope he gets lucky

Nice one mate, good luck, might give it a week or two and try again myself, the covers getting both me and the bird pissed off lol
