lor123 12 Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 i was always told not to fly my harris when shes moulting because the crafter feckers start nest raiding and the weight issue. so i just let her rest up for the moult but have to say i have been tempted to keep her going when shes in the moult but i just know when i give it a go it will be one of those, i told you moments. but i do know a lad that does fly a male harris mugging crows all year round.

grovsey 74 Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 A good plus of putting them down to mount is u have a break from them and ur all ready the next season, it's a good way to keep the spark and what is the point in flying at young ones Experiance days and the like are different as you don't need them in perfect feather condition to do so pal Quote Link to post
