Your life is great. Just think how many years of falconry you have to enjoy before you leave this world. I am a 50 year old apprentice. Talk about not much time to enjoy the sport. Always look at the glass as if it is half full not half empty. ;D
Ya life is good for you... My life sucks everything! I'm noy a falconer yet but every falconry class and all that you have to 12 or older!!! But people who live in CA will let me flush for them and stuff. If you need a flusher email me at doveseeker@yahoo.com ;D
[glow=purple,2,300]Referring back to the orginal question, my local feed shop gives away rabbits. So if you don't mind having a small cage of bunnies you could easily breed them ourself. Bunnies just have to be seperated when young from there Dad cause the dad will eat the babies. ;D So yeah, there is a way to breed your own.[/glow]
Never settle.

How mysterious... It sounds like this should be moved to the whiners thread... want some cheese? You think you have it bad NOW... just wait. Life is hard get used to it. What does this have to do with rabbit hawking? I catch a few of those each season. Yarak

[glow=purple,2,300] Life is hard and then you die. Some strange reason us humans make it seem difficult but think for a moment what do you have that other people don't? For instance I have a load of responsibities, yeah I complain but the truth is. I am lucky that i get to have a once in a life time chance at life (please excuse the pun) I am lucky enough to have a meal at dinner time, I am lucky enough to have a different set of clothes to wear to school tomorrow, I am lucky enough to have all the small things in life that are always taken for granted. Oops,this sounds mean but i am not trying to be. It just sounds me cause i am serious for once. ;D (please don't take this offensively it wasn't meant to be, post an add in the classifieds for flushing i think you will get mmore hits there) ;D[/glow]
Never settle.

Ya it is... it is on alt 99 on the way to Lake Chelan. (E Wa)
I was hoping that they would all wild, but as you can see they are not. There is a mix of all sorts of domestic rabbits with Jackrabbits and Cottontails and some hybrids... I guess they feed em for the tourists... But they looked like they needed a pop check.
It would be awesome for a new bird as you can walk right up to a rabbit that "looks" like a wild rabbit. Maybe if I ask the guard (it's at Rocky Reach Dam) early in the morning, he'll let me ?
We'll use it as an experiment...ya know.....for the education of the rabbits. It's called preadator avoidance 101. Tell them I can have my bird there to give an initial test on Monday..... ;D

The Rabbit ==========
The LAPD, the FBI, & the CIA are all trying to prove that they are the best at apprehending criminals. The President decides to give them a test. He releases a rabbit into a forest and each of them has to catch it.
The CIA goes in. They place animal informants throughout the forest. They question all plant and mineral witnesses. After three months of extensive investigations they conclude that rabbits do not exist.
The FBI goes in. After two weeks with no leads they burn the forest, killing everything in it, including the rabbit and they make no apologies. The rabbit had it coming.
The LAPD goes in. They come out two hours later with a badly beaten bear. The bear is yelling: "Okay, okay, I'm a rabbit, I'm a rabbit!"

Hey Jelly do you think htat you could send mee the address of the feed store in your area. I would like to know if they will ship live rabbits. I need all of the feed I can get before I get my RT. I also need to start breeding my own.

[glow=purple,2,300]Uhmm, I can try but it is a little mom and pop bussiness, they might not. Nice people though, I can always check. [/glow]

i went hunting with to of my sponsers friends last weekend(i'm only 13 and i don't have a bird yet) antway each of them had ared-tail we took out one of them and tried to flush rabbits for him we got some nice flights but no hits then we took out the other guys bird he had a dog and the first rabbit that ran was immedietly hit my question is whether it was the dog that made the difference or the individual hawk thanks ;D
more than one thing will affect the outcome that you described.
I would say the majority is probably the bird. Though that doesn't mean the other bird can't get the first flush too. If the first bird was a little heavy, it wouldn't put in as much snap and effort as a bird thats a bit more hungry.
It could also be one bird is more experienced, or more used to that particular field, or more used to hunting over a dog, or the bunny flushed down wind....

also consider how good the slip was, where the bird was positioned, did the bird see the bunny before the flush, etc. TOo many factors to decide which it was.
