Alex Brown 7 Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 is a gos the [bANNED TEXT] bird for a newbie or a harris any info would be most helpfull thanks for those who reply in all honesty, its not all the bird that dictates what should be your first one. the following How much time can you put in How much land have you got what quarry have you got available have you got a mentor, if not you need one Once you have looked at all of these then you can pin point what bird could or would suit harrises make a good starters bird and a very bad one, due to being very easy to man, train and enter. they wont give you as many problems as other birds will but will defo be much simpler to handle than others. if you have a mentor who flies gosses (for example) then possibly a gos would be a suitable bird for you as they will be much harder on average to get manned, trained and hunting well. On the other hand a red tailed hawk, is a very good beginners bird as they are pretty hard to get hunting etc as you will need to be spot on with weight issues and have to be very accurate with your handling. Once you have looked at the first few point on land, time quarry etc then and only then should you start to consider what bird. possibly better to find your local club and try and get out a few times to get a feel for the various birds flown.
