    dont really fancy a lanner, my mum likes them but if i was going for a falcon i'd go for a pure perregrine. i wouldnt go for an older bird as there usually for sale for some reason or another and your buying other people crap basically. i was looking at a male gos because there around £500 and could be flown at crows and seagulls etc. this would be fun considering my permission is a coastal golf course. i basically shortlisted a few;Goshawk Red tail hawk Sparrowhawk Peregrine. welcome to more ideas

    had a harris sice 08 and this year my dad is getting one to fly with me on our permission at rabbits. but aswell as flying with my dad im after a completely different challenge, different flying style etc. to fly at pheasents or crows closer to my house, what should i get i cannot decide, i will have around £600 to spend. toyed with the idea of a male gos, but realise there are so many things that can go wrong and wouldnt want to risk the bird.

    cant help you with that, but i beg you not to tell anyone the location

    pea gravel would be best, astro turf is harder to clean and in turn harbours bacteria. i use sand and sieve it, this leaves clean sand and a bucket full of excrement, pellets etc.

    Mate, that's a con if ever there was one! Don't reply to any of his calls or emails, completely cut him off. Everyone is always crowing about how great Paypal is .............. reckon any of them will give you the £350 you are sure to lose back? I doubt it! Even if the money clears in your account, he can easily do a chargeback and get it taken back off you. IT IS A SCAM! gutted, i have asked him when he is home so he can pay and even pick it up or pay in cash.

    on your falconry page you have used a picture of a falcon (understandably) but it may be an idea to include an image of some of the more practical rabbit hawks, i.e. harris hawk, gos hawk, redtail hawk etc. here's two of my harris' and one of when i brought her out of moult and was refreshing her memory with the dummy bunny

    you have to read up about them, take courses and get a mentor before buying all of the equptment and a redtail. all together it will accumulate to over £1000
  14. Parabuteos lad
    the air gun hunting section is for write ups on hunting trips, the review section is for people reviewing / asking for reviews on certain pieces of equiptment, the general airgun disscussion section is for general airgun discussion

    on your " the wild rabbit" page you have mis-spelt prey and on your "rabbit control page" you have put 'cases' where i think you mean 'causes'

    went to my permissions at the weekend with the intention of getting a few pigeons. stopped on the way at field sports equipe to pick up a hw silencer. on the first day i got a pigeon, neck shot as i forgot to compensate for the gravitational pull but it dropped dead. my mate had a shot on a rabbit but completely fluffed it that was the end of the night as we lamped a fox and no more rabbits came out we also found some one had been feeding it on the second day we bumped into the greenkeeper and he asked us to kill any rabbits we see "even the babies" he said i had no intentions of taki

    a shop local to me has a small indoor range,ideal for testing out what might suit your needs ok your not going to earn money off it as such but indirectly it helps i reckon,dont think this is such common practice as it might seem, its the only one i know local to me that has the facility though thats a very good point, it would attract customers who are looking to test their guns or guns they want to buy and while they are there they may run out of pellets and need to buy some you could also charge people to use the range

    obvious things like scopes, silencers alot of people buy camo aswell so maybe the stock covers, scope covers, silencer covers, the tape in general but most of all a very competitive price

    ive done work on this in my fish husbandry course, its not just about the fish. its about letting the bankside vegetaion grow back on pegs and the ducks etc that are breeding.
