I like the german birds, my male is half german and he fles best around 1lb 11.5 oz to 1lb12oz, he's nailed a few pheasants but I mainly fly rabbits, he lost a talon on one a few years ago, looking forward to getting him going again later this season

been out today on invite grounds in the peak district, hard going on the dry stone walls, but managed to bag me self a black rabbit, had a few hard flights and it was a hot day up there

cracking pics there sean, atleast you can be arsed to do a write up on your bird/ days accounts etc, I just haven't got the time lol, as for hooding its each to their own, the female im flying was 6 years old when I got her(imprint) tried hooding her but she wasn't having any of it, it was hard enough to get her come to the fist, think she's been flown to the lure which is something I don't do.....again my choice, I cracked her eventually, but hooding a bird the that just wont have it or thrashes around when hooded will resent you in time

I flew my male for 5 season straight caught everything that a male can catch in my area, so gave him a season off last year to get this older female going I bought in for breeding, the breeding didn't go to plan so I flew her last season, I don't feel I got her weight right, she nailed rabbits no problem every time but pheasants and hare she would pull off too soon, think I was at her top weight as she would switch off from me at times, this season ive treated her weight different, now she seems more determined to chase and follow it through more and the recall response is better, she was 6 ye
-
ive gave her light recall work, a hare did get get up the other day and she gave chase, (happens when you don't want but never when you do!) she seems to be using her foot now, felt her grip no probs there so see how she goes tomoz on the rabbits again, if she's struggling again I think i'll get my boy going ealier than expected
-
just seems like they got now brains to brake, need to get her fit as she's no where near yet I feel that they actually think they can fly through the small gaps in the wire. My female actually flew through the small gap in sheep netting. I thought she had damaged herself, but she just continued on a caught the rabbit. I know it happens a lot, but I saw her connect to the wood fence and it seemed like she hit it hard, my mates female broke her leg two seasons ago and its not a pretty sight

sorry to hear that, you'll get back in to it wont you?

I thought they would be great for hare hawking, there just didn't seem to be many using them as serious hare hawks........maybe a fashion thing? Or a fitness thing..... im on my second year of trying for the hares with my female gos, she's had a good 4 now in her grip which have all got away, she flown about 10 now in total(one today) and she seems more determined each time, its not as easy as it looks and hares are tough buggers, she flew a good field length to get at one today which she wouldn't normally do, I was finishing the day flying her up as one got up a good way from her but sh

a video of two slips on rabbit with my female gos, the clips are the wrong way around, the first slip she slammed in the fence after her rabbit, the second slip which is the first clip you can see in slow motion she's only using one foot, there are no visible injuries, but she is now resting up with cream to treat for bruising best watched in 1080hd in the youtube settings https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNePqu7_5SM

-
I haven't, but heard a few have them but don't fly them, most just use them for breeding
-
soaking the bird down early in the day makes them less inclined to bate, but make sure they are dry before night fall, as for the wing im no vet so if your worried then get it checked out
-
its crap when it gets like that, see loads through out the summer and then the season kicks in and seems to be none about, guess im lucky really as ive a lot of ground in all areas around me, plus plenty of mates who take us on theirs for a day or two just to watch the birds go, ive done two days ferreting and a few hours lamping which bagged me 14 in total to keep my freezer going till the bird n ferrets starts catching
