Bullet weighed 330 grams this morning before I fed him. His weight has slowly been creeping up a little, but I'm feeding all he wants twice a day right now. This was his 9th day at hack. I watched him fly 2 circles around the tree today and evidently he caught and ate something during the day. It took me over an hour to call him in tonight because he had a partial crop on him. When he came down he had no real interest in the baggie. I'll post the pic tomorrow, but he just flew over to it and never killed it. Tonight he displayed all the signs of a FAT bird. I've seen him fly from the ground to ~25 up in a tree. He is getting more fit everyday and still is easy to handle.

At what point do I end the hack, drop his weight, and start carhawking? I'd really love some wisdom here. I had planned on hacking him for 2 plus weeks, but I'm afraid he'll start catching on his own. He is 36 days old at this point. I'm fairly sure I could drop his weight to ~322 grams and I'd be at a responsive enough weight to start carhawking. It might take a little more drop however. What are yall's thoughts. Keep hacking or start hawking?
