Obviously you don't have a mentor. You can't man a bird properly at fat weight. Why would you want to man it and drop it's weight at this time of year? The bird should be freelofted if possible in a seclusion/ quiet pen where it can moult in piece. The cover and leaves are high and all quarry species are breeding, there is no point in flying it at this time of the year unless you are carrying out bird control.

Tell him to keep his f#####g moles. ?

You boys need to up your price with cost of fuel gone up like it has.

As previously said the less contact you have with the hawk the better, also don't bother weighing etc just feed ad lib. Let the hawk reach its top weight and feed a varied diet of good quality food. This is perfectly normal behaviour!

I've never trained a lab but have trained a few spaniels. I wouldn't say any different from the Spaniels that I have trained, they seem to absorb the training quickly. I think that they are much more versatile than labs or Spaniels. They seem to be able to master a variety of tasks.

You won't go wrong with a GWP it ticks all the boxes for everything that you require. They are the most versatile of all the HPR breeds and would excel at the gundog duties as well as the stalking requirements.

Sounds like your going to be busy. Keep the posts coming, happy days!
-
The grass doesn't look too long in the pic, how are you finding the ground? It's quite dry and getting harder down here.

Ah that's a shame that you didn't see one at its best. They are the most versatile HPR breed out there. I use mine for hawking. Hunting up a pointing rabbit's, hares,pheasants etc. Marking rabbit's, working with ferrets, and locating and marking vermin on commercial shoots. Very good nose and unbelievable stamina, totally tireless in the field.

I had some bits and pieces off them last week.

You won't look back Tony. They are full of character and excellent all rounders.

6 week old litter of GWP'S enjoying the sun yesterday.

As previously stated take it to an avian vet. If its an eagle hybrid it would have come with an A10. Put up some pics if you don't mind.

My Wirehaired pointer was pointing all traps that had a mole in,lol.
-
How many traps are you using atm? I do like the genuine Talpex for the spring strength you need that extra punch in our gritty moorland soil.
-
I wear mine every day you won't be disappointed!
-
Where would be the best place to buy genuine Talpex traps boys? I see earth thrower said he got a good deal on them a few pages back??
-
Picked up another 23 today on same ground, thats 107 in last 3 days. I ran out of traps today, just borrowed another 100 off a mate. Thats just three fields. The numbers will go down a good bit but more farms that haven't been trapped for 20 plus years will come along!
-
No but I like the higher lagged boots for our country. Plenty of bogs on the moor
-
Picked up 45 yesterday and 39 today and still setting up tomorrow.
-
I've got a pair of them too lol.
-
Too short in the leg for our ground
-
That's right David!

Diotto, Deditto, and Altberg stark extremes all very good. I'm wearing all three at the minute and I am impressed with them all!
