MAACCY 105 Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 As already been said you will need a lot of land to fly one not usually flown off the fist they hunt better waiting on.you will need to get there quick when the bird has cought its quarry if you want to hunt again with it due to there large gape can consume a lot of food in a short time you will need a lot of time on your hands to get the bird fit Quote Link to post
grovsey 74 Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 get a bird to suit your quarry and the land you got not what you like to fly mate,id love to fly eagles but not able to mate and been offered them on loan in th past but declinded Quote Link to post
coney clucky 93 Posted August 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 ive flown as i said earlier my harris for three years and have had some good sport on bunny but just fancy larger bird as their are some large hares and good numbers of pheashants about not many people seem to be flying ferruginous and i was wondering why and would like to hear from lads who have flown them are females better or males for this quarry and do they follow on like the harris the harris im flying is a male and was my first bop hence all the questions about diffrent breed Quote Link to post
