Hi Well i dry cured my own bacon just a couple of pound of belly pork and never again will i buy bacon from a shop. I cured it for 5 days then a couple to dry them fryed it up could not get enough of it The cure i used was 175 g of salt and 70 g of brown sugar and dash of black pepper to the kg Thanks for the idea and the help Bob

The method i use works because it is easyer to man a bird that feeds on the fist so you do not start manning until it does feed the bird is all ready feeding when you are there. normally eats within 3 days .as for the 1 chick a day i was thinking of a spar i would give a large bird 2 chicks as you have started at top weight the bird has not lost much weight. the bottom line is you now have a bird that will feed on the fist with no STRESS to the bird at all This method was devised by one of the top falconers in the country who i know very well who lives in Norfolk now days Bob

Well he as already taken over 10% of the birds weight off with no advale you can only use this method with a bird at top weight i can assure they eat on the fist long before a 10% weight reduction Once the bird is eating on the fist normal manning takes place Bob ps never yet had to reduce a birds weight by more than 10% in 20 years

Hi In my opinion a untouched harris 9 months old is has hard to train as a gos and you would not expect a gos to feed yet. Tell you what i would have done Tether her in a weathering give it 1 chick a day so to drop its weight stay in the weathering may be will not eat while you are there keep doing this till she eats then the next day pick her up and feed her she will eat on the fist put her back as soon has she has done eating so she thinks only good things about you and build on that. I have used this no stress method for years including haggard gos and spars to be put back in the wild

He can pm me and i will give you my number been a falconer for over 20yrs Goses and Spars Bob

Hi Fish very interested in doing my own bacon wondered how hot you have the smoker and how long do you smoke it for as i can only seem to find out abut hot smoking Cheers Bob

Ok i will tell you how it is GWP can be quite hard make good deer dogs Visla quite sensitive need to train with compassion Wierhaired Visla also sensitive mine is 4yrs now good allround gundog and great for falconry GSP the easyest to train not sure what you want from your message do you want a gundog to catch foxes or what would never let my dog anywhere near a fox is that not what lurchers were for Bob
