Berkutchi 0 Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 There is no such thing of an average hunting/flying weight!,in the UK different races have been put together and so you could have a hare killing female eastern Red Tail doing the bussines at just over the 3lb mark and another female hunting at 2lb 4oz! Just thought id add to this thread becouse i heared this morning that one guy i know has dropped his Red female so low that her blood sugar levels dropped and she collapsed becouse he listerned to a prat in Lincs (you know who you are) who is meant to have a centre saying his female was to fat becouse she would not chase and that it should fly the same as his which he never trained either. Reason in my mind is becouse shes not fit and this person has just started out and thinks that becouse its a Red tail he can chuck it at every hare he sees!,all from the advice of this prat...
