kerrie

I hunt in a couple of different ways with the hawk,i sometimes just let him fly through the trees and let him just follow me and the lab and then he might either see something himself or if the lab flushes something he can have a chase,the other way is i use a friends ferrets to bolt rabbits and then i either slip him off the fist or let him sit above a burry in a tree and wait for bolted bunnies.i also lamp rabbits with him too.ive got quite alot of land where i live to fly on so im quite lucky.

Thank you for the welcomes

i'll bear the young "tom cat" bit in mind lol,but to be honest i would quite like to get into hunting with a dog too,I quite like whippets x bedlingtons,got a couple of friends that have them kerrie

i come across tom cats wherever i go so dont worry too much im sure i can handle them

Thanks for the kind welcomes everyone

Hi Chris thanks,and thank you Rolfe

Thanks everyone,looks a good site

Just thought id say hello and introduce myself,my names Kerrie and ive been doing falconry for nearly 4 years now,ive got a male harris hawk that I hunt with my dads ex gundog aysha who is a 13 year old back lab.and a female barn owl,I also flew a female sparrow hawk during the summer who has now gone to a friend for breeding.Ive always been into everything to do with hunting and shooting as i was brought up with it,my dads a deer stalker,i dont shoot myself but really enjoy going along to rough shoots and duck shooting,i used to fish alot too but the falconry has taken over my life really so
