wilson4347 5 Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 The only issue i could see is that if you cant get out much with the bird through the season up until the three weeks you are needed to fly the bird, the bird will be very unfit, as easy as people say Harris hawks are to train and enter they take a lot of time and hard work too get fit. In my oppinion you need to be out daily to get a harris fit! Other than that sounds like you have a great oppertunity and i hope you enjoy it! atb Luke that's all been covered, I wouldn't be silly enough to cage it 11 months out of 12, but use it for personal use mostly, with a little depot work, yet get paid for it Quote Link to post
