Lily has been so easy to train, she is so tame.She never bites or tries to foot anybody.
She's more like a puppy then a hawk it's really crazy.
Monday on my lunch hour I turned her loose for the first time.
I took her down the lane and let her go.She went to this tree first.The dogs and I went to work hunting for a rabbit.Lily moved with us choosing higher trees.The dogs put a covey of quail up and Lily made a dive and missed.I called them back and headed for the field - Lily followed.She flew over the field and got really high then came back to a big pine tree.The wind was getting stronger and I was running out of time so I headed toward the house.Lily followed and landed in the top of this big tree by my new corn crib.
I got my lure out and called her but she did not come down.I couldn't see her and don't really think she ever landed in the tree. I had one of my live quail with me and put it out there but no Lily. Last year after Keavy got lost for the day I bought a tracking system. Lily had the transmitter I bought on her.It took a while for me to find her even with it. It was four o'clock when I found her along Kibler Road about a mile from the house.She was in a high tree but came down to the lure. I'm going to wait till the weekend for the next hunt. I will have more time to find that rabbit or look for the hawk.
