peregrine/ saker

[liftboy1 0]

Hello longwingers, I flew a harris hawk male for two seasons and got on brilliant with him, I used to do jump-ups every other night with him and would normally fly him for say max 4 hrs on a sat/sunday. He was a awesome bird but I quit falconry due to having a major house renovation to do. But I have been offered a peregrine/saker and still have my kit, My house is finished also and was wondering how different a falcon is to a hawk.

VERY!.You can get away with flying a Harris on a weekend,you will never get anywere flying a Falcon flying it less than 4 times a week,idealy six.The weight management is far mor crucial as is your telemetry skill,if hunting it you will track your falcon weekly if pursuit hawking and for a good few miles lol.You need far more land for Falcons also,we are talking thousands of acres.Training is pretty straight forward,more difficult with a Gamehawk and a more expensive passtime.
