Cheers Pointer, you lucky sod sunning yourself and fishing in foriegn lands, never mind soon be time for mud wind and open spaces pal, Dexter manning up well enough, he is still greedy as per last year, steady on glove , still bating a little on block now and again, very steady with dogs around , seems amused by the new springer my missus keeps, and the spaniel sensible around him as well, Im gonna block him out for an hour or so and hope he takes a bath, the scruffy little sod, aint been in since he was pulled, then its back to manning , Im hoping he makes the jump for the glove today so

Personaly prefer loop leash or double looped leash, fail safe imho had birds unpick falconers knots and also not as fiddly on cold days , looking towards moiving aways from traditinal leather jesses as well this season, well maybe

better to learn with the bord you have land for and want to fly, hate seeign people 'move on' fromt eh harris, most years before the potential is tapped into and the fun begins, but imho if its a go you want to fly and you have mentor and land then better you fly a gos than havign a harris with one eye on the exit door for it a couple of seasons down the line

its almostr funny that forum if it was not so sad,m like CHG says theres some great info if you read about the forums, however its also contaiuns a lot of sniping and jealousy as well which always reflects badly, gos bred to cover money laundering, maybe much easier to open a tanning salon or kebab shop lol I doubt you could wash much money up that way, and i doubt many of these backyard breeders pay any tax, lilely just spend the money on holidays xmas prezzies etc, dogs lads the same as has been said, always bitching and jealousy abound me? Id buy form the devil himself as long as he had

heard Desert Hawking an intereting read, is an american book is it not?
-
being that you fly a harris maybe Martin Hollinshead Complete Rabbit and Hare hawker or numerous other tuitles would suit you, well written and enjoyable reads by a passionate hunter, 'As the flcon her bells' is a goood read, look into another era , loved PG Falconry and Hawking Book, still my favourite one fo them all, Hacve you lads seen the price Nick Fox Book is now feteching, wish I had a few copies in me collection, sadly only go the one which is a keeper for sure, one of the best ever written imho, refer t it every season at some point fo other, Always fancied the Imprint Accipter b
