harrishawk999 4 Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 As you might now I have a 26week old FHH I have got her free flying so going to get her fitness up and get her on a rabbit carcass, I also like to get her on to duck pheasant pigeons ect, she loves her bird lure when I swing it let it drop and run with, do I just put pheasant feathers etc on it like the wing and just sleep doing what I am doing.??

youcanthide...BANG 1,051 Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 Mate just get her out and show her live game, she will get the idea. No good holding them back with too much lure work. 2 Quote Link to post
j j m 6,540 Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 as has been said get her out as soon as possible mate Quote Link to post
CrowHawker 227 Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 (edited) Don't hunt pigeons mate unless mugging you won't catch them! Get her out slipping at feather if you have access to a pond that gods ducks then it will be easier. Edited November 11, 2014 by CrowHawker 2 Quote Link to post
bullx100% 681 Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 Problem is with trying ge a Harris on pigeon is they ain't very good at it and not got the speed to take one in fair flight and will waste a lot of energy and time trying to chase them through woods when she/he could be saving energy ready for a rabbit pheasant... 1 Quote Link to post

youcanthide...BANG 1,051 Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 Car hawking is illegal unless the car is stationary when the birds released I believe. Weight might need dropping down a tad if she's refusing pheasant Quote Link to post

Weight might need dropping down a tad if she's refusing pheasant i thought there was something about it been illegal but wasn't sure on all the details... Is it only illegal if you send the hawk out off the window whilst driving the car (due to safety ) or is it still illegal if someone slips the hawk (from back seats/ front passenger) while some one else is driving the car. Or is it a case of spot quarry stop car turn of ignition slip bird? Quote Link to post
