  9. Windy as hell today so ended up in a nearby wood, The bird was at 1lb 5oz and was keen as anything, had him following on whilst i beat the bushes, christ i need a dog lol Then he went up high and was fixated on the middle of these bushes so i just left him and once he decided what it was he made a dive for it but missed causing the rabbit to bolt towards me, the hawk got back into the tree and chased hard again until the rabbit made to some cover. So close but very unlucky, thanks for the tip aswell crowhawker the slight weight reduction had him chasing wood pigeons in the trees so im
  10. Too many idiots wanting to get into the game, i hope everything works out right for you bud.
  11. Great mate its nice that everybodies starting to get their birds going, the falconry sections gonna be buzzing over the next few months
  12. Get rid of the mate ha Thats a real shame bud, have you already sorted where she is going? Will you be looking at a different bird?
  13. that's because your not tryin hard enough Im trying im just shite at it
  14. Not all went to plan today, weighed the bird at 7 am this morning and he was at a shade under 1lb 6 oz, not too good a start, Got to the sets and everything looked good, first set produced no flights then the second produced a cracking flight only for the rabbit to make to another set within feet of the hawk getting it, so we rebolted that rabbit and this is where my f**k up with the weight showed as he put in a decent chase but then threw himself up onto a tree? Then my ferret grabbed a rabbit just before it bolted so atleast we didnt go home empty handed, was nice to be out but it was
  15. Uncle billy had a ten foot willy, he showed it to the girl next door, she thought it was a snake, so hit it with a rake, and now its only 4 foot 4
  16. Thanks for the help mate will give it a try, im ferreting with the hawk tommorow from a friends invite on open sets so hopefully have an update and a few picture to go with it, maybe a vid if the phone cameras up to it
  17. Thanks mate im hoping more for feathered quarry at the minute until the cover dies down but he doesnt show nowhere near as much interest in them over a rabbit im just trying to give him easy slips, which is hard unless your car hawking, which i dont like, any tips crowhawker? he has been fed on carcasses, maybe just a confidence issue? Would it be worth dragging a carcass?
  18. Ive decided to start a diary on my male harris hawks new season, ive had him going out of the moult again for little under a week but i wanted to start the diary on a kill, So with the bird weighing 1lb 5.3 i set off looking for a crow on nearby recently cut fields as at the minute the cover is just too thick for ferreting, But nothing was about so i took to the wood, as soon as we entered a rabbit got up with the hawk in pursuit only for it to make to cover, the bird threw himself up onto a nearby branch waiting for the reflush, so i hit the hedge and it was off with the hawk behind it,
  19. I thought thats what it was, but after reading that ive just nearly woke the house up laughing lol I'm glad you understand it............ In birds of prey the male is smaller than the female, so for example in the case of a peregrine the bigger female is referred to as a falcon wheras a male is the tiercel, there usually a 1/3 smaller in weight or therabouts
  20. I thought thats what it was, but after reading that ive just nearly woke the house up laughing lol
  21. Youve got some...and dont use them! Infact... probably half the site has them! The whole design is different.... but once the 2 bits of cord come undone....at the end of the handle.... the whole thing will unravel.... Theyre just pish.... Mick dadd had them on his stall... so he might be at the midland..... Id rather buy them off you mate, to support a thl member is a better option on spending money in my mind
  22. The platting, knoting whatever you call it looks alot better and neater on yours. Will buy a couple for the start of the season in a few weeks providing i dont overspend at the gamefair lol
  23. I can tell mate they look quality, ended up using a mates last year but it looked like a seatbelt with a coathanger stuck too it lol, these will look alot better.
