It all depends if his birds are ferret safe been brought up with them,or he might fly the bird off the fist holding it back when ferret comes out.Lots of people fly birds over ferrets had some cracking sport with harris hawks and redtails in the past

we used a goshawk and a ferret plenty of times, the ferret would be walking around out the hole and the gos wouldn't be interested....BUT....birds of prey are unpredictable at times

Loads of folk do it mate ,but its no for me if my ferrets bolt a rabbit i want it in the bag ,whats the percentage missed or allowed to run another day if your using a hawk ?. THen how many times can a hawk fly at rabbits in a day?.

not really a question of numbers is it mate,far more effective ways to consider if you was worried about loosing a few,very noble sport i say and good on the lads that got the time for these hawks because i know i haven't

I've been out today with ferrets and harris hawks. I fly 1 of my mates male harrises we've had a good day out and your right its not about numbers it just great to be out there having a great crack at the bunnys. you havent seen anythig untill you've seen a hawk take a bolted rabbit far more fun than setting nets.

Couldnt agree more mate....id imagine compared to a dog catching a rabbit, a bird has a farrrrrrrrrrr better strike rate, not that im bothered, i have a dog, not got time for a hawk
