paulus 26 Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 What quarry are you after and how many days a week can you fly? They need answering first. As a rule, goshawks are NOT a first bird. Reading books wont prepare you for a gos no matter what anyone says. So what bird will prepare you for a Gos Not a Harris thats for certain. a sparrow hawk or maybe a coopers hawk Quote Link to post
