Buzzard not playing ball

[Briony]

Well tried out my hide today in the freezing cold, trying to get one buzzard that lives around here, after 4 hours had to give up with near frost bite
Here are a couple I got as he just would not come any closer to me, like he was playing a game

 

[BRASH]

They are a bloody pain to get close to

It can be frustrating trying to capture these things but when it cxomes good its very exciting. You need to get yourself a portable hide.

I had one:shrug: trying it out for the first time today but he is not stupid, will place it in a different spot next time nearer the mole hills

Forget the molehills, try getting it nearer the Buzzard

VERY FUNNY

Not bad all in all.

What about leaving the hide up there near him and staying away for a few days?
He may get used to it ?

Looks like you are enjoying shooting the raptors

Would be my recommendation, that way it becomes use to its presence.

Not bad, Buzzards are very hard to get close to.

I agree with the above as they need to get used to the hide. They are also rather fond of mince beef or roadkill if you can find it...

I even shot it a couple of rabbits and has had some cockerell legs out of the freezer.

It does like it worms though so will have to think

I have been scouring the roads for ages looking for minced beef but cant find any :shrug: Unlucky Briony but all good things come to he who waits
