CrowHawker 227 Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 Hows the boy getting on? Quote Link to post
arcticgun 4,548 Posted October 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 real slow start mate work weather family and dogs have got firmly in the way , he doing well on the lure and starting to get fitter, had him out sunday despite the weather just local, he was very subdued when pointers hawk was present, had to hood him , despite pointer and the hawk being some way off he would not find any height whilst the hawk was about , I honestly thought there was something wrong with him , fetched him down and cropped him up, took back out Monday briefly and he returned to his old self, lure training today with electric lure, however its just fitness he needs now, flying him sunday however I expect limited success as he is nowhere near fit enough as yet. last season he was fit as feck prior to the cover going down, being that he was a oung bird and had been trained etc, lessons to be learned for next year lol Quote Link to post
