diablo

well ive not been keeping a very updated log as its not been a very easy road trip with diablo.im not to sure about a good weight for him he hates to come to the glove and ive had his weight down to 1.4.5 or 20.5 oz and he comes to the glove but only at his will.but he follows really well and chases at 1.5.5 or 21.5oz he managed to put 4 bunnies in the bag so far this season.the first 1 was out of a tree and on a bunnie i never seen young and dumb and he was allowed his fill second bunny was a great flight off the glove and the bunny only made it 15ft and he had that one wrapped up.then he went on a draught for a few weeks with not catching anything or weather not permitting us to fly up until wednesday the 6th of oct 2010 and we went to a filed of my dads i try not to hunt thhis field due to he really likes it so me and my father and my way better lookin half went to it and my better half kicked up way more rabbits then me and my father he got 8 or 9 good flights but cover was really thick he weighed in at 1.5.5 or 21.5oz we moved to the back of the field and were on our way back to the truck when i kicked up a bunny while diablo was on the glove he gave chase but came up empty and flew about 100 yards to the closest tree and landed.i went in through the thick stuff while christina and my dad went through the lighter brush my dad some how walked right past it and was already 20 ft in front of it when christina came up the same path and jumped a very nice sized adult rabbit which took off like grease lighting away from us.well shortly after it ran diablo seen it and pumped down after it i seen the whole pumping but cover was way to think to see the whole flight shortly after i seen him go down i heard the sweet sound all us falconers love to hear.i took off running to the sound and took out a few small trees as i ran to him i rush in to find diablo had a firm grip on the hip and ass of the bunny i quickly kill it and let him have his fill.
