When on weight they are awsome to watch. Good to hear that you were blown away by the experiance. Its also good to hear that you appreciate the amount of work that goes into getting the birds ready for a day like this. Too many only see the end result and rush out and get a bird and are totally unprepared for the work that goes into them. Quote Link to post

ferreter.al 22 Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 i know accidents happen and they have happened to me but all im saying is people need to think before they post on a forum about take out of season game f**k me they arnt realy going to raid his house looking for phesant feathers,theres a lot worse spoke about on this site,always someone like you waiting to pull lad down when he enjoyed himself, nice one mate,can remember my first day out with harrishawks when i was about 7 or maybe 8,went on to own all types of different birds including harris hawks etc and all grate fun but in the end they just took up too much time,but i will be having another when i get settled with some more space and a bit more time.
