I was just saying to crowhawker yesterday how i want to get mine on a pheasant this season, well done

[arcticgun 4,548]

I set out especially for one three days running and finaly found and flushed one , she was up a tree and had marked it down, sent the spaniel into flush and too my utter amazement she caught it fifty odd yards from edge of field, I was astonished, one foot in middle of back, doubt I'll ever see it again

it was actually a couple of days ago just got around to posting the pic, she flies at around 2lb 3oz she was still 2lb 9oz two days later lol I let her have the full lot, as she done so well, four different species last week in four trips out, looking forward to going for teal or mallard tomorrow, mind a moorhen would do the trick, awesome bird, she very fit now, seems to love exercising jumps , rope etc, and she pure thrives on hunting, after a hard season out me depth with falcons last year and the anxiety etc that fetched this is flying and hunting for pure pleasure too many quick to write the harris off as begginers bird etc their loss imho, ruthless hunters versatile and commited to task, loyal and fun who could ask for more

Yeh it can be nice stress free hunting.....the 3 years I flew one, I never got the tracker out! that was with regular hunting in heavy woodland & forest...... When I got a gos I had to learn how to use it properly lol

They are underestimated......they'll catch as much as any bird

i paid 800 quid for my first male, now you get them free with a packet of chocolate fingers, i once saw a little male take 3 pheasant one after another after someone had been feeding a boundary hedge for a week or two. they really are in general a pleasure to own, the coopers hawk i believed would be the perfect partridge bird but i am still yet to hear anyone singing there praises and ive been listening for a long time

I looked into coopers a lot, generally you hear they are difficult & hit/miss, but there just hasn't been enough widely flown in uk (rather than sitting in breeding pens) to get a good idea, but they do well in the states with passage birds which is preferred, captive bred seem mental!

A nice male harris really is a pleasure.....I even took mine on a camping/hunting trip to the New Forest....no bother....it broke him to horses lol
