I don't think weight is a major issue when we're only talking a few ounces between same sex birds Nicky! if the birds at its peak flying condition its surpriseing what they will take on. a good fit in condition experienced Hawk is alot more confident around larger quarry, having said that a young inexperienced bird will take some large quarry on and hopefully learn from its mistakes.

 

I know of a female taking a Canadian goose and also of a few taking some good size brown hares on their day, also heard of a few taking a dislike to dogs and attaching themselves to them .

Ive had a few mountain goats with a 3lb 6 female harris..but the best flight by far was on a wounded french snail that had been salted by a road hooligan when he hit a salted puddle in winter time..the snail was slowed but still made good ground..

its not :/ typical goshawk noob they do well on pheso's, duck, moorhens,coots etc. will usually take quarry to the size of brown hare but i have known them to take geese, greater black back gulls and one gutsy female took a heron. the bird was ok but a heron WILL kill your bird so do not fly at them. what experience do you have? surely even if your new to this, you should know each bird has a different weight that you have to find and you should also no what quarry is legal. are you using telemetry? do you have a mentor?

You certainly have a point there with some PL , then again! some of these falconers who have based all there skills on flying imprints shouldn't have much of a problem these should all be pretty bomb proof by the penning stage.

The way forward is cogently a North East bred harris hawk. Form an orderly queue and wait your turn. Once you have justified that you have the experience to fly a harris hawk then the bird is yours for a very good price.
