i done it with na pr male gos, and as jasper said was fine till mid moult and started getting more flighty. then evenings bating to get higher. when i boaght a high ring perch it seemed to solve the problem. hate those raptor post. will end up damaging the rear helux with the bating. the ring gives them more freedom i think if you need to go down the teathering route.

i have notice abit of a habit forming over the last two days, where when quartering into the wind with my 13 month gwp if i give her the turn peep and she is close in she will back cast and not venture forward into new air. she is near on perffect if aloud to go out to 60 yards but if i need her to quarter tighter she back cast on my left. anyone have any tips to stop it. i have been praising her all the time when she is quartering well but give her no praise when she back cast and shout at her to get her topush out back into the wind.
imquite inexperienced with hprs and she is my first dog so please bare with me.

Surley stamina has nothing to do with size
. a sparrowhawk can chase until the bitter end over some seriouse distances, we're talking about a bird averageing 10oz's tops here but they keep going when they need too! I'm pretty sure a German male Gos in any sort of condition is more than capable of the same feat should it be needed?....whats your own view on the subject?
well i have only flown one gos before this, and i was hoping you where going to say what you did. i have a thing for small hawks and like millet i too watch spars fly all the time as a kid and still do. and my fist wasnt big but had the best wing beat i have seen. where as this fin i have at the mo has a slower wing beat. but it still hard to see if there are any faster or slower. what i do notice is that the smaller male got upto speed qucker and was then just behind the pheasant where as the male i have now the pheasant pulls away a touch then the fin matches the speed from about 60 to
yards onwards. -
so tony whats your view on the smaller males keeping up on the longer chasses on game, or having the stamina to keep pumping are they the same as the fins, was told that the bigger fins are abit brouder and are better suited to the longer chases. weather its true or not i dont know.

my first gos that i struggled with to be honest. weather thatw as cose it was hand reared then put under an imprint buzzard i dont know, but he was from 3/4 fin male with fin female i think from a roger pyle. but he was the runt and came out smaller. when i did get him flying and hunting well his top weight before he died was 1lb9 but that was with avery slow recall and loads of meet on him. he was the fastes gos i have seen and only had a few slips on pheasant with him but he caught most of them. i caught one pigeon and from then on he would go stupid distnaces after them feeding in the fields. id do anything to have a bird like him again. im new to goshawks but have a big fin from mick kane and he is not a bad bird by anymeans but just doesnt seem to have the drive as my last one did. hopefully he will change in the next few years. still doesnt give up on game.
but if something happened to him id deffo go for either a midsize 50/50 cross or even try a small male if i could find one.
ha tony do you know tim sparford? whats his birds like? they seem a nice smallish size.

the ones that are most accurate in your gun, most probable a deccent make domed. then shoot the brains out. cant go wrong then. oh and always go for 177 better penatration for sub 12flb.
-
yeah i know, but it's a bit hard to slip the bird from his fist away from himself while he is dragging the bird. I was only there with the camera
well maybe you should be more helpfull lol, leaving your mate to do all the work he he he.
na like the pics, he looks like my last gos.

i think there is companys you can send it to who will download it to disc for you. i think its well worth it. to keep it in digital format then just download it to a storing website like photobucket, even my old man is learning, i use the word learning loosly mind lol.
id like to get out more with like minded people to do some filming. trying to organise some lark hawking, im not into longwings that much but like the british predators type thing and have always been interested in the discriptions of lark hawking. why its not practiced as much i dont know, its a quarry most have acsess too.
