So early Saturday we had sleet and drizzle. The result was ground
that resembled an ICE rink on the roads. The air temps where high so I went
hawking anyway. Jez flies best at 30+
We had some good chases; the brush was thick and his timing
a little of from not flying for a week. It was interesting being in the middle
of this field and hearing all the emergency vehicles running there sirens for
people that had been driving too fast and now needed assistance but at the same
time the peace from the field my hawk flying overhead seemed a little surreal.
Sunday I met up with Ryan Van Zants, Daniel Murray and a
couple of their friends that were visiting from Canada. Duck is currently closed
till mid Feb so they wanted to see some rabbit chases. Jez ended up catching 2 rabbits (both by the
head) and having some amazing flights on some other rabbits. I was hoping for a
couple of bird flights but Jez seemed totally dialed into rabbits on the day.
(Sorry No Pictures) So that drings his tally up to 19 Rabbits.
Monday I wanted to get a hunt in before the weather came in.
We were expecting 6 inches of snow (which hasn’t materialized) nothing much was
moving unless it was in deep brush. Jez tried but couldn’t quite connect we did
catch a vole as a conciliation prize. The snow Tuesday should make spotting
rabbits well. Hopefully we will get out again this week.
