CrowHawker 227 Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 Getting a big quite here, Anyone got one planned? Where,how many falconers,what quarry etc? Quote Link to post
pointer 543 Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 Nothing planned but I can see the appeal. On a different topic I don't know why falconers don't get together and rent land like shooters do. Six or so people putting a grand a year into it rearing pheasant and feeding duck ponds etc would be great and a cheap way to ensure sport and quarry. Maybe this does happen, I'd jump at the chance to join such a syndicate within an hours drive of where I live. Back on topic I have nothing planned but if the opportunity arises I'd go. Not so much to fly my own hawk or to see other Harris Hawks but I want to see Falcons, Gosses and other species out hunting. Quote Link to post
CrowHawker 227 Posted September 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 Yes it does happen me and 10 others rent a huge piece of land in Wiltshire about 3/4 hour from me partridge and duck mainly but we've released 150 pheasant this season. I host a couple of BFC meets a season on it. 1 Quote Link to post
youcanthide...BANG 1,051 Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 Nothing planned this season as I need to see the hawk work first. Providing she does I'd love a few days up Scotland on the mountain hare. Quote Link to post

I happen to know a keeper who's brother is a keeper in Scotland who said he could sort me out with blue/ mountain hare hunting. I'm thinking a weekend away when mines fitter is on the cards probably around Christmas time. If I can sort it you would be welcome to tag along mate. Quote Link to post
CrowHawker 227 Posted September 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 (edited) Great offer that mate! You should do it! Edited September 28, 2014 by CrowHawker Quote Link to post
pointer 543 Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 It was just something mentioned a few months ago when we were chatting about Hawks.(I used to go hunting up scotland with hounds when he was keepering up there and I was explaining how I don't get time now due to hawking). Thinking about it I know a few lads all over Scotland and a mate hunts hounds near Girvan it always looked good country around there. Quote Link to post

CrowHawker 227 Posted September 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 Have spent many a long day on the hills great fun and the best falconry for me you can get! Quote Link to post
pointer 543 Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 The hills and fells are the only place to see good hunting. That's any hunting not just with birds of prey. Quote Link to post
