Fletcher 0 Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Havn't been out for a few days due to work and bad weather, but managed to get out for an hour today. I was expecting the bird to be a bit rusty but far from it. We stalked a lone crow that was sitting out from the forest about 100 yards away, the bird sat tight on the glove until we were about 50 yard from it, my bird left the fist taking a wide arch of a flight around and high, as my fella stooped in the crow took flight, but it was too late he got nailed 20 feet off the ground. As the bird took off I thought of Turk and that I should video this, but multi tasking is not my strong point, I wish I had it was an excellent flight. Quote Link to post
