Lovely pale Gyr/Saker Arctic... I'm sure you are going to have alot of sport and fun with him for the fourth coming season .

 

I picked up a male off Lenny Walters in bonchester bridge in 95, he was meant for crows and started off well but at that time I was flying in a area with plenty of game which was irresistible to him, this male would attempt to plough into the ground with the same enthusiasm. I had much fun with him but fell foul of the landowner and keeper when he took a few head or Partridge and the odd pheasant, he then ended up in 96 going to a guys in stoke on trent and I ended up flying a Pere/Prairie .

Cheers Jasper, he has been a pleasure to own, mann and train, entering well that comes very soon and maybe a different kettle of fish , but so far so good.

 

Extremely steady took no manning nothing phases this bird at all he is bred from imprint parents so maybe this is the reason? had him off the creance for first time yesterday,me arse fell out a bit when he shot off 1800yds at max speed , but he quickly landed then returned to the swing lure

Just introduced the dragged carcass on the floor and he is as keen as mustard , also steady with the two dogs he will work with and good around other dogs as well which is a real bonus, saw a stoat today whilst out and about he went beserk to be off I think he is going to be a game little fella, I will try him on a bit of everything over his first season see how he goes.

 

Regarding the pics you posted thanks for sharing , if ya can still get into that barbour jacket your doing well :thumbs:

must say he looks handsome on his block in the first picture. he is alot paler than the bird I had off Lenny and also looks a bit chunkier. took a look back through some old diaries and he flew well at around 1lb 13. the turn of speed on these is also somthing to admire unless you're chaseing with telemetry, the amount of ground they cover when they get them wings Rowwing is incredible! no doubt about it a real powerful bird...

 

was he reared by imprints in a open front enclosure arctic? could be why he is so steady but then again they are pretty greedy and generaly come on quickly. he's going to be alot of fun for you through out the season mate ....

 

that Barbour jacket used to stink Arctic as it got older . it used to hang in the shed with dried rabbit or whatever blood in the game pocket which had seaped through the lineing . I still have a old Ben Long waxed waistcoat he made years ago, I can still get in it but can't do it up that well ....

:laugh: smelly barbours

 

He was parent reared in a massive closed chamber with open roof, definately think the imprint parents helps with steadieness. maybe the size of the chamber also helped as he was turning quite well from the off.

 

It was a nice suprise him being so lightly colored, but to be honest color the last thing Im interested in, bonus though as you say he is very greedy, easily motivated by food even when he is approaching full crop. He came out at around 2lb 4oz mark, currently doing very well responce wise at1lb'12oz, add little for muscle as he gets fitter and he should be a fair old lump by the end of the season

 

Sort of treading water now whilst waiting for the rest of the fields to come down, then the real work starts, chances are an opportunity will present itself that cannot be ignored though and he will enter
