seffa 0 Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 I used to be a Keeper I now own My own land and do what I please on it. Which at some point may include Falconry. As for Me acting like an "Arsehole"If you believe that My wanting you to clarify what I thought you were saying but wasn't totally sure warrant's Me an "Arsehole" Then I'll make you right you ******* **** Cheers! Now Please go back to the playground and call someone else names I wont be replying to any more of your posts The problem you will find with falconry is that there a lot of di**he**s involved which im not going to go into....Having said that there are some people in falconry who's advice within the sport is priceless and are generally very nice people.You dont need a licence to hunt most game species in most areas in falconry as long as you stay within the seasons(october to the end of january).Falconry is not easy to get into as you must learn the how to look after a Bird of prey and train one, this is not easy and will take a very long time round about a year. In order to learn you must find a decent mentor or do a recommended five day course at a center. If you cant do either of theses then you can always volenteer at a Bird of prey center thats what i have done. If your interested Pm me and i will give you more advice on the subject. if youve got alicence an permission then just come out blastin like yo samidy sam hee hee Quote Link to post

What!,THE BIGGEST PROBLEM with Falconry IS its just that easy to get into!There are no laws concerning ownership of birds,anyone can go out,buy a bird and try and train it,Harris Hawk in one hand "how to" book in the other.Thats why the general standard of falconry is poor in the uk.Sure there are some brilliant Falconers and im priveleged to know some of the best in the counrty,but for every one great Falconers there are twenty shite ones! too many blokes who have had one or two Harrises come on sites like this and dish out advice to other newbies.Ive flown hawks and falcons and still dont really like dishing advice out lol.Falconry centres have a lot to answer to aswell!

Yeah that is the biggest problem with falconry we don't have licences in the uk, im a newbie but theres no reason why i cant help someone else out looking to get into the sport. I have found that volunteering at a center has grounded me around good people and taught me alot, i suppose there are some good ones and some bad ones.But overall i found that the sport has alot of politics involved, and thats what can cause a bad atmosphere. Although if you get told something buy an experianced falconer as your self then go with it, so if that post was aimed at me i will back down a little and wont try and help although you may have noticed i was going to suggest to him places he could get advice, not off me.

Not at all, i do not know what experience you have,but there again you dont know mine!.I may say this and that on here and with the right book in my hand at the time sound all knowing,but how can you be sure?.The only way to learn Falconry properley is face to face with a Falconer that flies and HUNTS! regularly.I agree to a point with the politics side but forums are a complete minefield for newbies.Use them to find somebody to teach you ,not as your primarie source of knowledge.The lad who i do my Falconry with i met on a forum and we have been friends for about 4 years so they are not all bad.In a nutshell it is impossible to know over a keyboard who you are talking to, hence my rather to the point post for the guy who started the thread lol Quote Link to post

graham01 1 Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 (edited) Bloody hell, its getting heated here tonight!!! How the hell are you Al lol,im off to Andy Smiths tomorrow to put a deposit on a 2010 falcon..Are you flying owt again? Edited February 10, 2010 by graham01 Quote Link to post
trappa 518 Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Nice one mate!!! What falcon are you getting? Mate, Im not in a position to have a hawk and commit fully at the moment still!, so im still flying my mates, which means he gets the bird flown and i get to fly without the hassle! lol, best of both worlds!!!!! Seriously, i could buy one tomorrow but because i cant commit fully just yet and i hate to see birds kept in aviaries and not flown with passion. I would love nothing more than to buy one now but it would be patronising for me to do so. Ive slagged too many falconers off who just keep one in an aviary and never fly one to do the same! Anyway, less about me. Hows your falconry doing?? Hows mick? Quote Link to post

Hes fine mate we still getting out together and we share the flying of what hawks we get so they get flown more.We are getting a male Pere/Saker or Male Pere/GyrxSaker they are big birds from Andy flying at 1.9 to 1.10 hoping to do some hedge bashing and if possible corvids.We had a Gyr/Prairie last season but he wouldnt kill crows,he would kill anything else though lol.You should get out with us next season mate.
