i also thought the same as millet and was wary of using my ferrets with my mates harris but to my amazment the hawk completely ignored the ferrets even polcat coloured ones.this bird has caught numerous stoats and weasels but knows that the ferret is a part of the team.walking through woodland the bird will sit above patches of cover that it has seen game in and waits for us to flush for it.he has caught an amazing amount of game with this hawk.fantastc to watch
