iv flown my male at pheasant last 9 years, from soar and following on, the bird soon finds its best angle for hunting them, makes no dirrerence if yer hunting cock or hen. just get out and show the hawk some and take it from there. imho.

last season i got a mhh as i had to get rid of my fhh , anyway it was near the end of the season and by the time i got his weight right i didnt have long with him before the molt , but he had hold of a couple of pheasent but just couldnt keep hold of em , also a couple of ducks . so this season i thought he will have a good go at them , but to be honest hes not that bothered about them witch is a bit frustrating,i got a pheasent lure that he hits hard every time , but not to bothered otherwise ????

Harris's will do good on pheasant in release pen's but as far as flying them in fair flight in the colder monthes they are a waste of time..it's like saying will a jack russel catch a hare..

my female used to mug pheasents in the wood , fair enough she wouldnt do one in flight , she pulled many from cover and ive seen males do it

So what would you say they are good for?

my old mhh caught loads, and caught them regulrly. i actually prefer the male rather than the female for pheasants.

Why would you want to hunt moorhens??

[hok boi 40]

off of trees, we would flush the feild towards the hawks, easy done, and simple.

as for moorhens............dont let your bird near them.

How come?? I don't see a point in hunting them anyhow.
