My first double!!


Due to high winds this weekend, we were only able to hunt on Sunday. We were blessed with a beautiful day, though quite warm. Katana was first to fly, and she started out very strong. She was following well, although still scanning the other side of the field from where we were. The first rabbit she chased was a long flight, and I think that she became tangled in the brush allowing it to escape. The second rabbit was a magnificant flight, long and strong, ending in a beautiful wing over. As always when we made in she had the rabbit by the head. Only 20 minutes into the hunt, we decided to transfer her off to a tid bit and coninue hunting. After releasing her she decided to do a little soaring. We watched her circle higher and higher, to about 1200 feet before calling her in to the lure.

About 30 minutes later, Katana took flight over bunny #3 for the day. We all watched as she flew further away, until she crashed again. It took us a while to find her, but she was patiently waiting on her rabbit. I transferred her off for a rabbit leg, bagging my first double!

What a fantastic day!
