He is getting no rest and is jumping constantly,at the end of the session his beak is wide open and his wings are drooped down but it coming slowly.By the time i get him fit the season will be half over
-
What number of high jumps would you work up to until you were happy with your hawks fitness?My sons male redtail has been sitting in a breeding chamber for 3 seasons and is the most unfit bird i have ever seen.Ive been doing high jumps with him to build up his fitness but its been bloody hard work,yesterday after 3 weeks was the first time i got to 100

My old harris hawk hunted at 2lb 8 1/2 0z and was flown every day.I dont know if she was superior or not the bloke i had her off just said she was bloody big.To tell the honest truth she was no better or worse than a lot of smaller females
-
Well done with her mate
-
Its always nice to hear that other falconers have trouble as well as me :icon_redface:Just a shame we all have the same scars
-
I got hit this week as well by my sons redtail.The only trouble is after getting hit in the face quite bad by a female ferruginous hawk a couple of years ago i recon ive lost my nerve as i seem to be a bit nervous of hawks since
-
you done it mate just a little small yeh still carnt make it bigger on me computer bullet did the bid 1doin my head in At least you got a picture up im so f***ing thick i have no chance
-
I had one of these years ago All my mates laughed at me but i always came home with the biggest bag
-
There i supposed to be a copy of the sharps innova coming out soon.I was quoted £118 for the black stocked version.Ideal birthday present for my son and a fair bit cheaper than a pcp
-
Picked up my sons male redtail on the 4th july(5 year old)and he hadnt dropped a feather until i had him i was told.Put him on quail all summer an he will be ready to hunt in a bout a week or too.I didnt think this was bad considering.I know weight increase causes the moult to start but surely the amount of sunlight available(or lack off) must make a difference
-
Must be me but i always prefer the smaller birds although i have flown larger birds
-
Those little males would make crackin hedgerow hunters,just think of the fun you could have
-
Nice birds mate do you have any pictures of the peruvian harris hawks you had
-
I prefere the myself as i think the extre weight gives my arms,shoulders and chest a better workout
-
There seems to be quite a bit of interest in the small peruvian harris hawks at the minute,its a pity you havent still got em(just your luck)
-
Can you still get the after market gas strut replacements for various rifles?
-
These are some crackin looking dogs on this thread they are a credit to their owners :notworthy:
-
I would need some counterfit money just to afford a goshawk :icon_redface:

I had a hw90k for years before i sold it to buy my first harris hawk.Fantastic gun very well made with a great trigger.My mates used to complain it was a bit heavy but they always have been a bunch of weaklings :whistling:These guns will last years
-
There is nothing on the highland outdoors website at the moment.The main problems they are having with importing the rifle is keeping it below 12ftlbs.This is all i can find so http://www.cannon-air.com/

Went to the midland game fair on saturday and while i was looking around the highland outdoors stand i noticed an air rifle that looked familiar.I asked the salesman about it and he said it was a copy of the sharps innova.Ive owned 2 of these rifles before so i now how light,powerful and accurate they are and i thought it would be an ideal gun for my sons 14th birthday.The gun i saw had a black plastic stock and threaded muzzle and hopes to be on the market in another 4 weeks pciced at £118.It will be interesting to see how it sells
-
Please try to remember a harris hawk is for life not just one season
-
If you find your air rifles to heavy you need to work out more
-
