Think it's the cage aspect bud, BOP, especially owls love their privacy and a cage is very unsuitable and can be damaging to feathers as bullet said. This is why Falconer's tend to keep BOP in an aviary that has one side as a cage with the rest a wood of some sort. Definitely far from the end of the world though, just not ideal bud.

Just personal preference to be honest, on my favorite swim on my favorite river if I cast upstream I have to strike left and due to huge dace dominating this swim I have to react fairly fast and this is not the case when I'm striking from that angle so I'd miss or deep-hook the odd fish or two, I really don't like deep-hooking with micro barbs so it's become common practice to downstream cast more often than not everywhere I fish now. Of course not to say you can't catch fish upstream and I do occasionally do so but after a long day or some happy medicine I tend to keep it as simple as I poss

Been lamping a few times bud, it was enjoyable but I'm trying to get into shooting, heck I may even go into the army if it comes to it lol, + if I had a dog it would be another Neapolitan

For the women to grab on too when I have time for them

Thankyou very much, I just dropped him a message so I expect a reply in the morning or so, much appreciated, exactly what I was looking for

Erm... Thanks for the advice bud but not quite what I was asking for, lol.

Have a motorbike and can drive mate, only looking what to spend cash on guns wise bud

Not too sure but if the bloke was flying his owl everyday for an hour or two this means the owl would be on the same block for the remaining 22-23 hours in a day, surely the owl would develop foot problems before too long? no it probably wouldn't.... no different to sitting on the perch in the cage. I wouldn't chance either tbh bud, I'd prefer to incorporate several perching surfaces

Sound advice from most of you and will be taken on board . If anyone can suggest what to splash some cash at regarding guns please let me know, wouldn't mind a nice air rifle to plink with to get some practice in but it would also need to be up to the job of rabbits and feather when I get confident enough (won't take long I'm too cock-sure of myself 99% of the time), not too sure on the laws atm but if I find some regular land to shoot on then a nice shottie is not out of the question as my record is fairly clean . Not been posting much lately because my new job's got me stresseddddddd lol, d

Just got back in from a fishing session an feck me I had about 10 roach/rudd and so did my mate, only went to bristol city centre's harbourside

I knew someone would say that at some point, was expecting it on the Falconry threads though lol. Just

Hey guys just thought I'd share my approach on Fishing a River I already know or one I'm Fishing for the first time. If I'm new to the River, from my own experiences I tend to want to find where the Fish are located fast, so instead of the normal ledger bomb I equip myself with either a Block-end Feeder or a small Swim-feeder, I prefer the small Feeder's are easy to manoeuvre, cast with and don't feed the Fish up too quickly. I'll put this on a 6lb mainline then use a swivel of any size in place of a split shot to stop the Feeder from sliding down, further up the line 5 cm passed the Feeder (s

2'000 views, who would of thought it . Last post of the day guys so reply when I get home, got a test tomorrow for a new position within a company I want to work with so still have a lot of revising to do, peace

Sorry guys didn't mean to develop a bad attitude there. By the way guys as some of you might know already I'm an avid Fisherman, I'm quite into course fishing on rivers at the moment so if anyone's looking to get into fishing and want to kick start your fishing career off with actually catching some fish then drop me a pm and we can arrange something or if you're already into Fishing and just want some company on an area of your choice or mine, I'm also your guy. I don't know much about the Lake's local to me and tend to find myself often out-fished on the harder lakes which require a more tac
