Hi guys are male read tail hawks godd hunters and what are there avarage hunting weight and dose ay one know a breeder in scotland or england

I flew an excellent male Redtail some years ago ukdaniel. He was a better hunter than either of the two females Ive flown, more agile and very responsive. I even flew him in a cast with my pals female harris and he usually beat her to the kill.

I wouldn't venture to guess at an average weight for any species of raptor, you just need to find each individual birds best weight yourself. Judge his weight against his response and perfomance, not against what you think is the average weight for that species. My Buzz flew best at 2lb 2oz.

Good luck

You've changed it at least three times since the start of this thread, first a harris then a redtail and the last one I saw was a goshawk.
