I spoke with my sponsor Steve Armstrong a week ago and we decided to go back to basics for a week. The creance outside wasn't working out. She was easily distracted and was wanting to hunt, field control was just out the window. We decided to spend more time on the fist and fly her in the house re-enforcing me as the supplier of all food. Feeding on the fist is always fun and learning how to palm the food(last season with Zoie) so she don't sink 4 talons in my hand is always fun( Murphy's laws says she'll probably foot me now) .The weather here hasn't been to great either, high winds and rain so as it turned out this wasn't to bad a prospect.
She's now at 1130 grams and behaving allot better. Bating less of the fist and less jumpy. We decided to bring her down to 1100 grams, she should be there at the weekend and we will once again ready to go outside on the creance.
I have two new hunting grounds once deer season is over, one north of Durant and one west of Boswell. Private land but with a ton of squirrels on them.
