dedger 16 Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 Looks a cracking bird,I've always fancied a Harris Hawk but never bothered because I work a spaniel and I wouldn't want any mishaps. Quote Link to post
mickmck 716 Posted January 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 well young bob is now at his right weight , its took me a while to get him down from what he was , i didnt want to drop him to fast in the cold weather so i just took me time and he seems ok now , i was told from the lad i got him off that he flew at 1-8 but found him a bit sluggish at that so shaved him down to 1-7 and hes a lot more responsive , im taking him out tommorow so will let you know how he fairs. atb mick Quote Link to post
mickmck 716 Posted January 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 i took bob out this morning and he was like a differant bird , just knockin him down to 1-7 from 1-8 has made all the differance, i was having to coax him out of trees and show him chicks all the time to get him back on the fist , so all in all very happy with him now . ill be out again with him on saturday so hopefully he will nail something for me , cheers mick Quote Link to post

mickmck 716 Posted January 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 well after weeks of arsing on with bob , i think i got him right now . i dropped him from 1-8 to 1-7 and he seemed a lot better then he started being a bit arsey wouldnt come to me glove without throwing chicks up in front of him , so i shaved him right down to 1-5 and started again with him , he responds ok now , i didnt wanna drop him that far as i was told he flew at 1-8 but it just wasnt working for me , so on advice from a fella i know i dropped him right down and its done the trick , will let you know how he performs now . cheer mick Quote Link to post
