mine was sound at the start then come his first cope he refused it as soon as i showed it him, now he just wants to rip my arm off as soon as i get it out, i had to wrestle him last year to get it on to do his beak ha

i dont cope mine i have a flat perch 6inches by 10inches about a foot from the wall on a 3ft poll and she takes her food up on it, when i see her beak needs a trim i give rabbit heads and i made a piece of concrete the same size inch thick and i just strap it on and she rubs her beak on it when she feeds and it files it down natural. i have a round corner perch she sits on every nite and i do the same thing a 2 and 1/2 inch pipe few lengths of wire through and pour concrete when set cut off pipe and stick on a lenght of coconut mat 3/4 inch wide and the lenght of the perch and that files the talons down and keeps the foot off the cold concrete. i only use them 2 weeks at a time and never had to trim beaks or talons. when im taking her out hunting i put hood on and off we go so she has associated getting the hood on with good times ahead. dont get me wrong sometimes the b*itch is having none of it and it might take few minutes but most of the time not a problem with hood.

thanks for that, im going to give that a go saves the hassle of coping might only be a 2 minute job but not having to do it at all would be a better option, thanks

I have.....no clue whatsoever....with regards to birds etc...

 

But a lure machine is a great tool for the dogs...keeps them ticking over in the summer....

 

We use turns too.... coursing...

 

Great fun and a great tool to have at your disposal

yes its called a multiplier and he uses thicker rope on the reel wheras if you used braided fishing line you will get a longer distance and more speed as theres less drag i imagine, just use 4-5 ft thicker rope at the lure end to reduce tangling. im going to give it a go and see how it works out

I would think even the thickest of braid would tangle as the lure bounced up, and you would struggle to undo it.

Would a Scarborough reel design not be better?

was out playing with a multiplier and cordless drill last night, it works brilliantly, i was previously using an old electric scooter upside down with back tyre cut off but line kept getting tangled everytime the lure got snagged and kicked back so was out lastnight like a little kid with a new toy with the drill and multiplier and once i got the drag right on the reel i got no kick backs i think its because its a few feet off the ground theirs less kick backs and tangles.

yes but most normal lure machine use thin line and the drill is handheld so comes a few feet off the floor so theres not much line touching the floor compared to a normal machine so less resistance
