One more rabbit

On Saturday i took a few friends from wok hunting with us in the field. We chased many rabbits and a few quail. We caught Rats, Voles and some small birds. The look on each of these guys faces (they are all hunters) was priceless. Big smiles all round.

Sunday i went out on my own again plenty of chases on rabbits and some long haul flights on birds. about 30 minutes into it he hit the ground hard and rabbit number 3 was in the bag. Trade off was better than any other. With the Rats and Voles i have been pinching the heads off letting him eat them and carrying them off. I have noticed he burns through Rats and Voles at 3 times the burn rate of say rabbit and quail.
I can't say it enough this year is turning into a fun year for this hawk and I. I only need one more Seasoned (Seasons as in there is actually an official season for it) game item and i will have caught more seasoned game than any other year. I have had official more kills on Rats, Voles, Mice birds and Rabbits than any other bird and any other season. It's pretty amazing feeling going out into the field knowing you're going to catch something , just not sure what.

Remington continues to improve. Right now we are trying to figure out the right dosage that gives him an active life but none of the side effects. right now he is drinking and urinating every hour with a few accidents in the house. I spoke with the vet this morning and we are going to drop the Prednisone from 5mg to 3mg. I'm also having to keep an eye on him as he has been showing signs of aggression to my other dog and growled at me once. I'm putting this down to hunger as his appetite has really picked up and he is starting to gain weight back. I still have him on Rice and Boiled chicken , he cant seem to get enough of it. I have had him running in the back yard after pigeons and started calling whoa when he stands still i let the pigeon go. Rewarding the good behaviour with a pigeon chase.
