not so sure on this one what bird of bird would you plan on using i would think you would need a large bird to over power a ferel cat even a large redtail would take a lot of stick off a ferel cat i would not recommend it

I'm with Maaccy on this one! Heavy Artillary like a nice Female Redtail would get the job done! then again so would a decent female Gos or Harrishawk but I would still fancy a female Red.....

 

There's obviously all sorts of danger Hunting certain quarry with BOP, taking Fox's and Roe with Goldies can end up with a Injured or dead bird, even Hare hawking can be nasty! I heard of a story of lad losing a Gos after its crop was virtually torn out by a Hare kicking......

 

Having said that I think I would save my birds from potential Injury and clear up the Ferals with a Rimmy or 12G ............
