Your right mate, its a great book. Ive got a few of his books. The original " cook on the wild side" book is apparently rare now! i used to absolutely love hugh , but he has started to go a bit "commercial" now, with his restaurants etc. Come back the old hugh, foraging for food in the hedgerows etc

Good luck mate. It sounds dodgy. Was she bating a lot when tied to her perch? I am presuming here that you have just caught her and put her anklets etc on as you say you were just training getting her to step up. If this is the case then she could have broke it bating, although that is more common in shortwings. Keep us informed , and all the best of luck to you.

Just a pic ( hopefully ) of my HH. She caught a load of rabbits last year, as well as 2 squirrel, a rook and a pigeon. I got her specifically for catching squirrel as this is what i like to do best and find a good Harris , imo, is unbeatable at it.

If the bird is native -ie goshawk or sparrowhawk etc, then you need an article 10. These will be given to you by the breeder when you collect the bird. Falcons also require an article 10. Non-native birds dont need an article 10. Hope this helps.

Richie where are you? I would advise some books mate. Your right that you cant beat hands on experience but books defo help. Emma fords art and practice is a good beginners book, its only a couple of squid on evilbay. Your looking at about £250 for a male harris, £350 for a female harris.

Have you thought about getting a Theoben fenman or evolution? These guns have a patented gas-ram. So they work in principal like a spring gun-ie; you simply break the barrel , put your slug in and fire ( no messing about with gas bottles etc) but they are a lot quiter than a spring gun. Ive got a fenman and cannot fault it.

Im looking for help on how to finish off my purse nets. I have been making them ( the slow way ie; tying knots in them instead of knitting them) but i am not sure how to tie them to the bottom ring. At the moment i loop them over the first 2 danglies, then simply tie the quadrant to the ring. This works but i dont think it is the correct way. For some reason i cant open the videos that show you what to do, so i am looking for someone to tell me, in PLAIN english, how to tie the net to the ring at the end. I have asked this question on a couple of other forums, and have been advised to come h
