CrowHawker 227 Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 I bet if you wait a week and from a different email asking for shooting something like looking for some rabbit shooting sometime this year to fit in with the grouse shooting bet you would have a different response. 1 Quote Link to post
youcanthide...BANG 1,051 Posted June 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 more than likely, another option im thinking of is that a company offers hunting experiences for parties hunting rabbits in the dales with harris hawks. maybe asking the bloke to pay to hunt on his land with our birds as opposed to his. as a falconer he would have more of an understanding and i bet he would like to meet a few falconers. i will look into it Quote Link to post
arcticgun 4,548 Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 bollocks to paying anyone if its pest control, let em do it themselves,I would only pay for grouse moor use, any other hunting I can get elsewhere for free , always someone whom will let you on its getting out and asking imho Quote Link to post
CrowHawker 227 Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 I would pay for a full day on a partridge estate! Quote Link to post
arcticgun 4,548 Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 Once I expierience Gamehawking I will likely feel the same, its the poacher in me coming out lol Quote Link to post
pointer 543 Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 (edited) If I found a keeper running a big beat who could guarantee me as much mixed hawking as I wanted day and night I'd happily pay. I don't know what something like that would cost but its worth a grand easy. I have taken rabbits round the doors but have always been willing to travel for the sane amount on the dales. I might set myself targets numbers wise but the type of land and the circumstances around which a rabbit is caught do matter to me. I love the Reed covered dales, I had been going to good ferreting and lamping spots in North Yorkshire, numbers land, but when I got to know lads who were hunted over big areas of rush and heather I knew I'd hit the jackpot. As someone who likes to see pointers out working I need to be able to go onto that terrain. I can with the dogs as I have mates with loads if permission up there but I don't know if the keepers will allow hawks. I rang a good friend of mine an hour ago and we are going to go and find out before the season starts so fingers crossed. Edited June 14, 2013 by pointer Quote Link to post
youcanthide...BANG 1,051 Posted June 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 ive emailed the bloke who runs the company just to enquire if it would be possible for a THL meet on his land. out of interest how many of you would be willing to chip in the costs for the meet, remember we will only be hunting the rabbits if it does happen. and its in the yorkshire dales so travel costs need to be considered just post saying you would if you would like to take part Quote Link to post
youcanthide...BANG 1,051 Posted June 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 (edited) bollocks to paying anyone if its pest control, let em do it themselves,I would only pay for grouse moor use, any other hunting I can get elsewhere for free , always someone whom will let you on its getting out and asking imho im on about a moor, its for a field meet as it will be hard finding a landowner who will allow us all on his land. ive sent an email to a bloke who offers hunting with his hawks on the yorkshire dales to see if we can have a THL meet on his land so we will have to pay for a day as its not pest control Edited June 14, 2013 by youcanthide...BANG Quote Link to post
youcanthide...BANG 1,051 Posted June 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 so again if you would be willing to chip in the costs for a days rabbiting on the yorkshire dales with your hawk with other members from the forum just say yes. like i said ive only enquired in an email but its just in case its a possibility and he would like to know the numbers of members coming Quote Link to post
pointer 543 Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 What part of Yorkshire is it. Quote Link to post
youcanthide...BANG 1,051 Posted June 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 (edited) remember nothing has been confirmed but they operate from kettlewell and i dont know prices yet . if its overpriced then the meet wont be goin ahead, im just enquiring for now as theres no way any of my permission owners would allow a meet up.

pointer 543 Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 Get some prices but I'd be up for that. Quote Link to post
youcanthide...BANG 1,051 Posted June 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 just waiting for a reply hopefully it wont be too expensive and he will realise he will receive alot of publicity through the forum and its members. worst case scenario is he wants to charge per person like he does his hunting experiences then it will get pretty costly i imagine. if not im going to keep my eyes open for somewhere else we could hold a THL meet Quote Link to post
youcanthide...BANG 1,051 Posted June 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 great news the blokes got back in touch and has said that we are welcome to have a field meet on his land. as ive already said the land is his own in which he makes a living offering hunting trips with harris hawks and we are taking a pottential booked hunting trip day so the bloke will want paying. hes offered a large mass of land to hunt rabbits over. im just talking prices with him. so again anybody who is interested in a THL falconry meet in north yorkshire please let me know Quote Link to post
