Well today the big girl was 2lb 10oz and me and the mate headed out for a rook and we came across a single magpie sitting out about a 100 yrds and we stopped the car and let her see it off the glove like a rocket and there was as cross wind that the magpie found hard to work and the Gos had no bother working the wind and then she was close on its tail and the magpie flip over some trees and thought to myself it's got away until I seen a puff of black feathers going threw the trees and knew she had it in the bag.

this was another set the young pup marked and bolted a rabbit from the cover .as I forget to wipe of the rain of the lence and can see it on the clip as it started to rain.

Today the big girl was 2lb 9 3/4oz and took a day out with the ferrets and Springer as it was a dry day and nearly went into stock as I've seen rain all week and bolted one with the ferrets as the young pup marked a whole and the pup bolted another out for a piece of cover.

To right lll give her long slips to try and not make every flight easy as she is no longer a first year bird.as it gets her to use them eyes to see long distance quarry.

-
The latest news is I've not got out with the gos as the weather over here is mad with 45mph winds and heavy pour down with rain for nearly a full week.

When I first started out I went out with a person that flown a Harris as I wanted a Harris and wanted to learn the ropes.as I spent a year we him flying with him and I was the ferret helper to.as there is alot of books out there to read .as I'm not a book reading person and just listen to everything the person told me .and then he would test me on some questions to see if I really was taken everything in.and after a year outing I got my first female Harris and then the person helped me with all the training and had him on speed dial if I needed help with anything.and now ive went from flying a

it needs to as I finish up on the 1st of feb anyway as its 75mph winds last nite and today with rain all day and nite.as this happen last year the same time and all the rabbits got mixy and nothing was about cos of the bad weather and fed the bird up as it was hard to get one flight with the bird and wasn't going to waste her and give her a good long moult.
-
Yeah mate I couldn't believe it as she had it on the head hold and still took off with the bird.and that is only a rabbit running with the bird on imaging what a hare would be like if it ran on as you can't watch the flight like a rabbit as once its off the fist your running after it.

sorry to hear that david, weather not being kind to us at the mo so not a lot of flying to be had anyhow Tell me about the weather as I had the gos out yesterday Tring for a few rooks and no luck as she was up in weight at 2lb 12 1\2 oz.so ended up with rope pulling and planned for lamping tonight as there is a 12khp winds and perfect weather and it has rained from 12 oclock non stop so I'm getting peed off as ive not had a days ferreting in 4 weeks and thinking of ending my season early.
-
Ive always went pr birds.and lll always trained them to the hood to .shame you weren't looking this year as I seen I sister of my bird up for sale £500 and untouched to and came out of the pen at 3lb 2oz.
-
well this is the clip from last nite as you can see with the first clip i had the bird hooded and she shut down as she didn't go for the rabbits and ull see a few clips with how windy it was and the bird didn't leave the glove and at times she gets blown about with the wind,and I just pushed on and ended with two in the bag.
-
Well tonight the big girl was 2lb 10 3/4oz and there was a bit of high winds.so I decided with the mate to go out anyway and managed two in the bag.
-
I was over the moon with her as I thought lll never get a hare with her.as I flown Harris for around 7 years and I trained up a really good female and I had that bird super fit and wouldn't look at a hares even I showed her them in the training stage when I got her.not interested in them.so this is the first bird ive had that has caught one for me.
-
looking good Sean how long was the flight mate that flight was not far as there was a piece of heavy grass and the springer worked it and out bolted the hare as we must been 8 foot away from it and made a wrong mistake and ran down hill and she nailed it.
