Lamping Videos with Harris Hawks

[mulitipack]

hello. anybody no were you can get any lamping dvds of harris hawks. training dvd or footage would be great thanks

Hmmm, we just ordered one off of ebay recently that has some, but it's like 20 minutes of lamping footage in the middle of a 4 or 5 hour video. It wasn't advertized to have lamping footage and I can't find it in the stack right now so I can't tell you which one it is, but it was cheap. It looked like RT's and HH's.

why would you want them most states wont allow you to lamp. the only place that really does it is over the pond.

We can spotlight jacks here in AZ. I looked into it. Not CT's just jackrabbits, and as long as the light isn't attached to a motorized vehicle and your not using a firearm, you can "hunt" jackrabbits with a spotlight after dark. I triple checked what I was reading just to make sure... and I've got the perfect areas by me to try it ;D

My best suggestion would be to check ebay and try to email video sellers to ask whether there's lamping footage in their vid or not.

I have just seen this thread so being over the pond would like to comment.
I have flown a Harris Hawk with the Lamp and it is quite an experience. But it’s not easy. You must keep that lamp on that running rabbit as the Hawk totally depends on it. Some have put flashing micron lights on the hawk’s feet as if the hawk lands outside the beam you can spot it.
It is an experience that you should try once just for the pure complete eccentricity of it. But it has never caught on and I can see why...It’s just plain Daft!
