Big Bunny Down...lol...

Had an awesome day hunting with the hawk yesterday. She had some real great flights after some fuzzies and finally connected with one. I think sh'es finally starting to catch on to hunting with my buddies beagle. She was a little intimidated of him at first but she sure wasn't letting go this rabbit yesterday. The dog was more scared of her I think.

Unfortunately I forgot my Contour HD video cam at home. Will have to get some vid of her next time.

Here's some shots of the days adventure.

Take care

Dave

He sure has no intention of backing down from the dog .... lol. So how do you get the rabbit from him without losing a chunk of meat from your hand?

That has to be one of the coolest things to do!!! I hope the bunny population stays up in your area so ya's can keep on having a blast. I have seen one set of bunny tracks all winter!!!!

Thanks guys.

The first couple you get - I let her crop up and eat as much as she wants to off the kill. When you're ready to go - I just pull out her lure with a mouse on it and she always jumps right off the rabbit and goes for the lure. While he's eating off the lure - you gotta try and be quick and get the rabbit in your pouch before she sees it. It's been quite a learning experience for me the past two years and I only have a couple hawk scars to show for it...lol...
