    Awesome pictures. Are the night time ones from a homemade trail camera or have you taken them yourself?

    Awesome shots! Is your homebrew a P41 or something else? I know I've asked before but have forgotten. Definitely better quality than my P32.

    Donnie - it's an S600.. See 3 posts above yours..:lol: I had a P41 years ago but it finally died. Since then I've only ever used the S600's. They do take great pics.

    Great pics again!

    It seems like the hawk tolerates the dog but has definitely claimed the rabbit! Very cool.

    Actually Greg she's working right with him. Since I got into falconry, I've been taking him along on all of our hunts and every time he gets on a rabbit he yips. This hawk has learned that when he starts yipping he's going to push a rabbit out. So when she hears him yipping, she'll fly and get up in front of him and wait for the rabbit to flush. They actually work great together. Of course after she catches it, he's wants in on the action and I have to give him a little talkin to before she foots him.
    I can honestly say I have just as much fun hunting with the hawk as I do bowhunting. It's definately something I'll do until I can't walk no more..lol..
