Hares are big creatures and they can seriously hurt/kill your hawk. You'd be better off putting her down for the moult and if you want to try for hares, get her on them at the start of the season and try for young inexperienced quarry. Get a dead hare or large hare lure and let her "catch" it several times. Each time she catches it, let her have her full ration. Personally, I would never feed washed DOCs. Especially if you've already reduced her weight, then your hawk could go low. Again mate, I don't want to labour the point, but it would maybe benefit you and your hawk to have someone experienced that could help you with the gos. Just my two pence worth. Good luck with her. 2 Quote Link to post

Ok thanks I was thinking of putting her into moult and try again next season when I’ll get a bullx machine and hopefully I’ll have dog for her. I know 2 people with a gos one being the person I brought her off I’ll try get out with them more Quote Link to post
