  2. For your information haven't even got my hawk yet. Looking to get one next year! At the moment i am flying with my father in law and his harris hawk. Trying to build some experience and knowledge before I can make the decision whether I'm right for a hh or I could do one justice! Yes we have places to hunt his mhh but its always nice to have as much as possible to keep it fresh. Thought I would just try my luck on here as someone might be able to help out, and maybe I could build a few friends and permissions along the way of my own. I would certainly not even consider getting a hh if I had no

  16. Yeh I must confess lamping the bird would be not be my first choice, buts its something I would have to do so I could work the bird during the week! Otherwise I simply could not even consider looking into it. And if it means that I'm keeping the bird hunting and flying that is what I will be doing. A small sacrifice I think to follow a passion:-). Weekends are no problem ferrets on my shoulder and hawk on glove :-)
  17. Gnasher I'm sorry to hear u decided it wasn't the right time for u to have a hawk. But I'm sure you done all your homework and made the right decision based on this :-) hopefully in the future mate hey ? As I say I'm defo gonna look fully into it before I make any sort of decision, cause like you I want if I'm going to get one Id like to Do the bird the justice it deserves. Anyway ill keep you posted on my situation all the best pal :-)
  18. Hello accip74 cheers for the tip on the land. I've got a bit of land out suffolk way that my mate owns so I'm lucky on that score but it is a trek. So need some land closer to home. Father in law flies some the wood and fields Round here and don't seem get no bother So I'm sure I'm good on that score! Do you still fly your hawks? And how often do u fly/ hunt them? I'm concerned that I won't have enough daylight hours during the week! So I'm thinking of getting a proven bird that has maybe worked on the lamp, or would this be something that the bird will take too easily? Thanks for the replie
  19. Hi I'm new to all this and am looking into getting myself a harris hawk. I'm on here to do some ground work really. I need to learn alot before I can even consider a hawk. My father in law has a harris and hunts with it, and although I help him out and would have him to mentor me a little I'm pretty he doesn't know everything there is to know. So I would like to know as much as I possible can before I can judge whether I'm right for a b.o.p. anyway any advice on anything will be [BANNED TEXT] fully received :-) look forward to chafing to u all. So over the next year or so I'm going to listen a
