Accip74 7,112 Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 (edited) This year I used this system for the first time. The gos was tethered on this for part of the day, along with using a swing perch as well, I got to say it's the best combination I've used for a goshawk so far,with next to no baiting......& I will definitely use this with all future birds.

Accip74 7,112 Posted November 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 I copied the Derry Argue's set up, shown on the IFF......it's not practical for everyone, & this is the first place I've lived where I could do such a set up. Quote Link to post

david901 165 Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 They are good systems for hawks, but there is a drawback and that is the bird is not enclosed and could be attacked by passing buzzards, cats, foxes etc. Derry lost a male goshawk to what was believed to be a fox.

Yep there are always risks, I got a 50m electric fence after these pic were taken, I have fox, cats & pine martins coming here & also buzzards, this was used when I was at home, which was a lot at the time........I found this just down the road from here..... Days later I got the fence.... Quote Link to post
