    Hi Samir I have had both is you male taken fur and feather. I had a female hawk for a year with my male I coundnt let my male fly with the female as he was nailing her so as morman explained they can’t be trusted at hunting weight.id persisted flying hawks in a cast . But for me there so much more involved work and if you are flying a male that is afficent on every outing. I did find flying a female slightly different they hit with bad intentions and usually end wilth one stoop and will only follow in if the male is close so become very effective . When they catch it’s a mission to trad

    I have a proven male flys at around 1.8.3 kills on every outing that is 3 was just thinking of getting a female chick to fly in a cast. My male is rock steady with the ferrets so I was thinking of hunting him free and holding her on the glove. Can some people share there experiences with this. As I would think this would be there most natural way to hunt. My thoughts if she is a proven bird would be to breed in time. Regards Fonzie

    I'm flying a male Harris hawk and would love to know if there is any lads in my area flying a Harris that would like a good days hunting on my permission. I would love to see my bird flying in a cast. This will be my second season with this male that has taken mostly fur and feather. I'm in the north west of Ireland. I also have working ferrets. Pm if a days hunting is possible for the next season cheers!!

Wirral countryman I hear ya their I'm goin to have to tag along with some of the digging lads to find out what to look out for and what to avoid.I wouldn't like to lose her.I haven't had her out since without a collar an a shovel in the van.I hear what you're saying though cheers?I don't want her to go to ground and I would stay well away if their were sets about as I'm not into it only bushing for rabbits...Auxm that's it she's still very puppyish an the best of us have off days ha!!!

    Voon your right when she's on rabbits workin bushes you can tell if theirs rabbits about she because she won't even enter them she will smell around them an move on but when she's on a sent its like a switch goes off in her head.its pretty much the same as ferreting when the ferrets are pricking around in warrens u know to move on.the only thing was I was to Believe that you have to train dogs to go to ground with older dogs or let them rag on dead quarry.this is just new ta me!one thing I have to say about the Plummer that I had is he was as cute as a fox only short of speaking to ya ha!
  15. Fonzie
    Hard grafter didn't get the quarry as I knew what it was.spinderelo I know ya tried TA warn me cheers for that bud I've a colar on her from now on when were out but never went TA ground since an she been out workin the last two weeks time will tell.voon I hear what your saying but the Plummer would of taking lumps of a husky or any big dog to be honest with getting a good hammering himself its just the patt is so placid with other dogs but yet under ground she was like a different dog after it happened she was trying TA jump a five foot wall at my dads TA get back at it again and her in bits I

    What a nightmare.I had the patterdale out for a quick wee hunt 4weeks ago on a spot thats not far from my dads house.Its a handy place to hunt high banks with thorn bushes dividing the fields so anyways the terrier was working the thorns when i herd her bark crashing through the bushes so i knew she was on a rabbit. The rabbit broke an headed up the line of the bank with the terrier flat out after it.The rabbit dissapeared down a hole and then so did the terrier as i know their was a rabbit warren their the year before But when i got up to it i knew it wasnt the same warren as last year Bi

    They will have a far better chance if you you set a out live traps for cats or mink.Their was two rabbits that got out of pens in my estate around five years ago and bred they were lovely to see in the summer time lying out in the sun snow white rabbits and brown and white ones their was around 15 by the end of the summer that were full grown.A big feral tom cat picked them off one by one.I dont think they had any burrows for safety id let them go were their was rabbits before or let them go down wild rabbits burrows.When cats get a feel for killing rabbits they do some damage even pet cats a

    Thats it rob i think give it a good go when spaded.Or it will always be on your mind what he would of turning out like. But to be honest i would not put to much time into it some ferrets wont be tamed no matter how much you handle them, theirs nothing worse than getting locked on to.. A hob has a powerful bite as you know Ha! and ive been their.Not nice!! If it keeps it up pet cemetery ha!
