    i am a great lover of lurchers and if i didnt have a brittany for my hawking i would have a lurcher for my ferreting. but anyway, yesterday, when fishing 3 lads turned up with four lurchers and were ferreting on the other bank, four lurchers on one rabbit? i fly hawks and my falcon as i feel the quarry has a great chance of escaping therefore making it fair (even though my hawks and falcon dont miss much, lol) so how many do you run on a single rabbit? there was no hedges etc to separate the dogs, just four on one rabbit. am i right in feeling four is OTT? i must admit though, one of the do

    a harris or a redtail but may i say, a barn owl is a lot more than 'avery birds'

    i like the way theres an ak47 shooting at his head, and he wears safety goggles for protection

    i totally agree, i had a harris as my first bird and then, this year purchased a gyr x saker and found all of it 10x easier. i believ the harris is seen as the best begginers bird because of how forgiving it is when you make mistakes

    i agree, but, if he's after a mntor his best bet is on there

    thats not car hawking. nor is it a busy road, sometimes when pursuit flying the only way to get a slip is to use a car, a friend of mine has a spar who recently broke its keel by flying into a tree, roads are not the most hazerdous for the birds when the roads are like the one on video, there is virtually no traffic. the way i see it, wild peregrines are now living in city's taking pigeons, pigeons are often on the road eating crumbs etc. how many times have you seen a dead peregrine on a road?

    never mind running dogs, if all this is about permission you want to start crow hawking. were swimming in permissions

    i went to the plod shop, showed them my permission and they gave me an incident number, then whenever i went after that time, i called, quoted the number and told them how long i'd be there. that was all i had to do

    i used to shoot on a golfcourse that was private, but had a public footpath crossing it with a rabbit warren very near, we were shooting when this fella shows up with his shitzu, "you want to be careful, a fella got shot last year when a pellet rebounded of the floor and hit him in the leg", "did he" i said. the fella said yeah and then walked over to us, "its illegal you know?" he said. i asked him what was illegal, to which he replied "shooting air rifles on public property", i then stated it was private land and was asked by him to show my permission slip, as he was trespassing, i asked for

    the falconry electronics ones are open, you slide the batteries in and cover with a piece of rubber that goes loose after about 3 uses :/
  19. Parabuteos lad
    i agree with what you's are saying. but it wasnt completely dark, it was around about 8:15 so we still had a little bit of light. he uses a falconry electronics one and i think his main fear was water getting into where the batteries are.

    fair enough, my mate spent an hour lucking, he's 68 and was up a tree searching. the home owner, who's garden the bird originally landed in, reached up and said, 'is this it' thought it was hilarious at the time.

    grovesy the jesses would be no good, its purely just for the transmitter
  22. Parabuteos lad
    well yesterday me, and my two mates were flying our gyr x sakers and one of my mates lost his bird, it caught a various mid air and decided to keep going. long story short he got it back, out of a tree and two hours later realised the transmitter had came off. we tracked it to the tree the bird was in but as it was dark couldnt see it. so my question is, is there something that can be attached to transmitters that flashes or something like this? i though about fishing night lights but they would be costly as it is unlikely that the transmitter will be pulled out of the tailmount often. what i

    i felt the same i have flown my harris since 06 and this year decided on a new bird. my mates were buying gyr x sakers and i decided i would too completely different kettle of fish. brilliant birds but you need someone who knows what theyre doing with longwings P.s. i will still be flying my harris aswell...

    rabbit's and more rabbit's .that is all they are regularly good for. its not :/ typical goshawk noob they do well on pheso's, duck, moorhens,coots etc. will usually take quarry to the size of brown hare but i have known them to take geese, greater black back gulls and one gutsy female took a heron. the bird was ok but a heron WILL kill your bird so do not fly at them. what experience do you have? surely even if your new to this, you should know each bird has a different weight that you have to find and you should also no what quarry is legal. are you using telemetry? do you have a mentor
