Lennard 10 Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 L.S., Couple of years ago when the ban came along, I believe that using hounds to flush game for an eagle was legal with the new law. So how is that working out these days? Are there hunts that use eagles? all the best, Lennard Quote Link to post
Hannah4181 260 Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Most fox hound packs in England now hunt a drag, and are accompanied by a large bird of prey, Eagle Owl/Golden Eagle . . .in the unfortunate event that a fox is flushed and a gun is not present, then the BOP is used to dispatch the fox ahead of the hounds.

skinz 11 Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 there is a pack that has a proffesional birdman, he generally reaches double figures every year working with the hounds. not my cup of tea, how it can be legal over hounds is beyond me, death is certanly alot slower... 1 Quote Link to post

vinnie 3 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 the only pack doing this properly in uk is the fitzwilliam hunt at peterborough, they have a professional falconer and i think at least two golden eagles, the rest are just fu** abouters Quote Link to post
