To be honest she's lethal on rabbits?
-
Third one and feed up at end of session.
-
In that case you want the rts mini full kit. That's a bit of a jump for a first bird, you definitely need the microsensory gps system with a longwing. Checkout my crow hawking thread. You will definitely be giving your telemetry skills a good workout.

Three in the bag. Killed all we found and they were all good flights. A good distance and in high winds again. Testing conditions rain sleet and cold strong winds. First 2?
-
Very testing day today only found the one rabbit. Flushed him once with the dog then bolted him twice, ending in success.
-
Will be on a few next week going on my mate's shoot. Just had a cracking flight on a woodcock off a nice solid point ?
-
Only found the one today.
-
Nice one you will be hooked once you start flying him, keep us posted.
-
I would have done the same ?
-
Managed 2 kills today, fed up with the rain. Birds was wet from minute I arrived. Had some cracking flights, good for fitness flying when wet. Hard going for the hawk though.
-
She's had some cracking flights on pheasants but been unlucky, found her with a fist full of feathers. She has had feather in the past.
-
I know what you mean that's why we only fly one bird at a time.
-
I have flown them in casts and single, I definitely think you get a better hawk flying them individually. A bit like dogs a lot are too clever and let the other bird do the work then pile in and try to take the glory. I find it makes them lazy. Also a lot more get killed or injured cast flying than you get to hear about.
-
No problem at all, good luck with it! Keep in touch.
-
Ideal you won't be disappointed, keep me posted. Maybe have a day out when you get it going if you fancy it.
-
Everyone to their own, but why would you start with a male and female, wouldn't you be better off putting all your time into one. The problem is its like having two pups together you'll always take to one over the other and then the other one gets left behind. The male will tame quicker and respond much faster as it has less weight to lose also they are usually a lot more laid back and easy going. Good luck with them, keep us posted on their progress! Nice hybrid, I know several people flying Ferruginous/redtail's and one with a redtail/Harris, keep us posted.

There are no hard and fast rules, but not all Harris hawks fly well in a cast. Quite often they can cause damage through crabbing on a kill etc. Don't have to be related some fly well in a cast and some don't.
-
You should go out with the Goshawks, I'm sure you won't regret it! I know what you mean its very addictive.
-
Thanks ? Lol, ah well its not for everyone.
-
Nice one some good ferreting up that way, and totally, likewise ?
-
Dodging the heavy showers and battling the high winds again. Two slips and a kill from a nice long sprint. Fed up and headed for home #19 ?
