  1. I assume that they can take larger quarry to like Fallow and Red size game?
  2. What else could you hunt with them pre ban in the UK? I know here we can hunt most things I want to know what they are capable of. Thanks .
  3. What weights did the perexlanners fly at?
  4. Why is that CrowHawker?
  5. I fly her on Indian Mynahs. No I don't fly her on the lamp.
  6. to be honest friend asking opinions on any bird is a waste of time,to many variables ie breeding stock,whos flying it,time and quarry flown at skill of person with bird etc,you any where near dullstrome ??? It's always good to get an honest answer. No I don't live near Dullstroom.
  7. My mentor said I have to reach 30 kills using this method of hawking before I can hunt in any other way. He says it is build confidence between me and the hawk. As the birds we would hunt in the bush a quite small. My hunts at between 347g and 352g. I mainly fly her on Indian Mynahs.
  8. I don't have much to say of my Af Gos. As I mainly car slip the flights aren't very spectacular.
  9. I didn't mean to blow a fuse. I'm just interested in the different hybrids. But I found out today hybrids and exotics are way out of my price range. I am a member of SAFA as the only way to do falconry here in SA is through them. You guys are probably right I should ask them first as the have a wealth of knowledge.
  10. I do fly hawks. I have one female African Goshawk. I ask questions because I want to learn more about the sport I love. It's thanks to comments like yours that put a lot of people of the sport. I've had to deal with such things because and I hate it. I love falconry and I want learn more. If you don't have anything constructive to say on this thread rather do everyone a favour and keep quiet. I don't mean to be rude but I cant stand people how think it is stupid to ask questions. Like I said I don't want to offend anyone I'm just speaking my mind.
  11. Dose anyone have any experience with this hybrid? And what are they like as hunting hawks? Thanks in advance.
  12. Dose anyone have any info or experience with this hybrid? What are they like as hunting hawks?
  13. Thanks Jakk . I was wanting to know as I live in South Africa.
  14. Thanks. That was the kind of answer I was looking for. Thanks again articgun.
  15. You hit the nail on the head. I wanted to know are there any advantages in have 1/8th Saker in this hybrid. The way I see it there would be know difference between a pure Gyr and a 7/8th Gyr in terms of heat tolerance. I might be wrong but see no advantage to this hybrid. I see the point of a 50/50 GyrxSaker but a 7/8 x 1/8.
  16. What is the difference between a pure Gyr and a 7/8th Gyr x 1/8th Saker hybrid?
  17. What do you guys think of shortwing and broadwing hybrids? I know there are a lot of falcon hybrids but I wanted to know what shortwing and broadwing hybrids are out there.
  18. What I want to know is in the days before telemetry was invented what did falconers you to find lost hawks and falcons? This has always interested me as I love to learn how our predecessors did things. Thanks in advance for any info.
  19. Sounds like fun . Do you lamp them?
  20. How did your Harris catch it?
  21. I live in South Africa. So I wanted to what they could hunt i.e. scrub hares, small antelope and maybe jackal.
  22. What are your thoughts on this aspect of falconry? And what hawk either pure, hybrid, parent reared, imprint, passage or captive bred is going to best for the job?
