Hi,
Due to the misbehavior of my naughty lanner this season, i have spent most of it making sure she is very good at comeing to the lure. I have now achieved this and want her to get back into hunting mode (Like she was last seasons, an amazing killer!)
I was just wondering if anyone had any tips of how i could make the convertions from lure to hunting again. I would appreciate it and i am sure my lanner would to!!!
Thanks,
Jonny.

Just take her hunting, maybe close ones to start, but once a hunter, always a hunter!

Start by trimming your lure with wings from your intended quarry. Then start feeding her your target birds, pigeons or whatever.

Ye,
Thanks, but the problem is she seems to have lost interest. I have flushed birds right under her and she has hardly looked at them! And i am feeding her the quarry food. I can't do that thing with the lure though with the feathers causing i am not doing passes. I am just occasionally bringing it out when she looks like she is going to sit and then giving it to her at the end. (I can't do passes cause she goes and sits!!!)
Any more advice?
Jonny.

Sounds like she is not fit enough and therefore will not take on quarry either. Do some long distance luring.

No, she is pretty fit. Just lazy! i flew her today for about 20mins so i don't think it is a fitness thing.
Any other i deas?
Thanks,
Jonny.
