Jeff,
What problems did you run into with the cast?
None Noah, the birds worked well around each other. We tried to slip them at the same time initially and never caught a bird. What we found to be a successful combination was to slip one Kestrel, if that bird caught a starling it's buddies would stick around and mob the Kestrel with the catch. That's when we would slip the second Kestrel, it wasn't always successful but the more we did it the better they got and it almost always ended with the second bird being caught in the air if one was caught.
That was car hawking of course and I'm not sure how that would translate to quail.
ATB,
Jeff
Thanks for the info. Any idea why they didn't catch when slipped together?
