I know mate, why anybody would want to shoot somebody elses pride and joy i have no idea, did they take the transmitter?

You must have a real good idea or know who is likely to have done it, I followed this thread as well I'm gutted for you pal, was always toying with idea of a goshawk, don't give up tho you done that bird a credit, you'll do the same with next, I just hope you post about it

Really sorry to hear of your loss mate, some people are not fit to breath the same air as the rest of us, fafrmer should have details of all sgc and fac lads who go on farm, might be worth a punt?

 

had a harris I lost overnight shot a couple of year back, local pigeon man apparently, woman sen me out looking for day sand she told me in confidence, it was an old boy who done it, so not much I could do about it.........................

 

 

I did however manage to fly my falcon out most days around the time his racers went out, hope he had a good season with them

I know that if my hawk was to get lost and stray not too far away she would definitely be shot.

Field sports people do not always stick together, they never have. Birds of prey are hated or at least feared by many shooting folk. They say its because the pheasants are at risk but yet they shoot hundreds of the things, even if a bop did get lost for a short time at a shoot it would only kill a few phessies I would think and feed up. I'd imagine most falconers would compensate a keeper for any such loses.

 

Very sorry to hear about your hawk. Please don't give up.
