youcanthide...BANG 1,051 Posted November 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 Thanks mate, im hooked on it, especially now the bird is actually putting the effort in. If i can just get him on a rabbit and switch him on to them to then i will be well away. Let us now how yours gets on Quote Link to post

youcanthide...BANG 1,051 Posted November 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 Well my bird wasnt on his best weight due to the other days feed up, so he didnt get anything, however he did pull a clump of feathers out a pigeon, just failed to bring it down. My mates caught 3 various And hawkingyorkshires struggled to realise what the static targets actually were so only flew them when they moved, by which time they had already gone Quote Link to post
youcanthide...BANG 1,051 Posted November 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 Had a great few hours out with hawkingyorkshire, On the short walk to his house the hawk had a chase on a squirrel. Once we met up my ferret bolted a rabbit out the first set which both birds chased but was bet to cover Then my bird gave a big cock pheasant a scare by almost taking its head off, the cover was too thick though and he just couldnt get that 1 inch closer to smash it Another rabbit was bolted by the ferret and both birds had a great chase, but just ran out of field to fly it, and it ran the side of a hedge and i think both birds expected it to hop into the thick cover so they didnt fly it as well as they could. Hawkingyorkshires male then got a foot on a pheasant at the side of a stream but just couldnt bring it down so unfortunately lost it Mine had a chase on a rabbit and actually pinned it, only silly bollock here didnt get through the cover fast enough and he lost it So even though we didnt get any kills, the weather was great, both birds got a decent chase on game and the good company topped it off, it was one of those days were it was just great to be out, a kill would have only been a bonus 1 Quote Link to post

youcanthide...BANG 1,051 Posted December 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 (edited) Kill number 13: Went for a quick fly on the back field, saw a rabbit run into a hedge where i know there isnt any holes under it, so i kicked the hedge and the rabbit came out the other side, the bird set off the fist and took it after a 40 yard chase But before all this there was a group of 4 crows in the middle of the field, the bird set off from the tree and got withing a metre of them before they got up and flew off, the bird was so unlucky and i was gutted for him Edited December 1, 2013 by youcanthide...BANG 2 Quote Link to post
pointer 543 Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 Nice one mate, I was out last night drinking with family so I nursed a hangover until. 2.30 before I ventured out. My hawk missed a squirrel, a rat and a handful of rabbits. She has never missed so many opportunities from a hours flying. I think it was just bad luck as she was trying hard enough crashing into cover etc. 1 Quote Link to post
