hello [bANNED TEXT] , i think it all comes with time , my female was a bit hit n miss with rabbits on the lamp but getting better with time , she has had hold of 2 hares but just cant keep hold of em , and she flys at 2 lb 4 oz she is mint on pheasant and rabbit , she also had squirrel and last weekend a weasel , some one told me you should either take em on the lamp or day time and not both , be she is not bothered when she goes out . so just bare with her mate and you should have a good alrounder . cheers mick
