  1. I bet they shot more than the quota...........just saying it to please Brian.....
  2. Now there ya go, I wouldn't have had you down as a BOP kind of bloke mate, I'd have thought all those hawking days were too much f*****g about. Don't get me wrong, hawks are my favourite animals, but those hawking days can be like watching paint dry. Yeh cos fishing is non-stop action........lol lol
  3. If had the time & opportunity.....digging & hawking
  4. Yes lots, like you say bad luck......so I'm a bit biased now :-)
  5. Fair enough mate, I misinterpreted your question lol.........mine was pinned in a ditch full of shitty water by a female.....she didn't do any damage to him.....but he ingested stagnant water.....that killed him 2 days later
  6. I lost my first male like that after only 4 months, allowed myself to be persuaded to try it........it's a lot more satisfying to see one on one IMO & it's a lot of work to try flying a cast on your own........the thing is mate these birds get better & better as the seasons roll on, they can get so efficient...... My mate has my old male, in his 7 season now & he's super efficient at what he does, in his 3rd season with me he took 101 head! That was just mainly wkend flying & holidays........be patient mate
  7. This is the first time in my working life I'm not in full time work & ironically the first time I haven't been able to hunt for various reasons.......frustrating!!
  8. Obviously make sure you have decent fall on the pipe, so no water can ever lay in there
  9. My niece's mate was killed like that Thursday night.....racing.......a moment of madness & it's all over.
  10. I assumed it was anus related......
  11. I don't think you should have to justify yourself to anyone mate......it's your life
  12. It's just one thing to look at.....there's vocal & there's vocal, if it's not an imprint, then regular kills can help, goshawks are vocal in the wild, but I wouldn't expect a parent reared one to scream much if killing regular
  13. So feeding her every morning makes no difference?
  14. If you really can't see yourself doing much earth work, then don't make it a factor.......it's nice having an all rounder, but more realistic to concentrate on one thing
  15. It's a tough one, constant noise is frustrating & with a female it's twice bad as a male....vocal wise, I've heard of guys keeping them in boxes in the car just to keep it down......once they get into that habit it very hard to stop, did she kill regular from initial training?
  16. Keep this thread alive guys!..........it's inspiring to us all......a powerful image
  17. Yeh Joey Barton can't talk... He's a Cnut.........& Gigs being a hundred times worse than John Terry?? He's another Cnut of the highest order!
  18. How much have you killed with this bird? A harris is always likely to be vocal, but regular kills right from the off is essential.....otherwise all their attention will go on to you, it don't matter in what way you feed them, you are still the main provider......you need to be killing on every hunt if possible
  19. I've never got anything local.........a days travelling shouldn't put you off, when looking for the right stuff.

    Good Covers

    Interesting mate.....I love that song......I didn't even know he was still alive to be honest
  21. Yes very sad for him & the thousands of other people killed in car accidents every year......the law of averages says someone well known will get it as well....
