Awesome season mate especially with the amount of time you spend doing other things; surprised you've got time for it  

Thanks mate, the winters are always the same for me it's a constant juggling act. It certainly takes it out of you but we do what we do. Cheers!

Fair play mate. A good season for you.  

I managed 25 kills with my female Gos, it was my first season hunting so I was learning on the job ( me mostly learning of her capabilities really ) I'm going to enjoy the summer but certainly looking forward to next season.

Well done mate. It's not as easy as a lot of people think. So many factors have to be correct at the right time. Good to see that you have ended the season with the bird still in tact, and looking forward to the next season. Why don't you do a thread next season. It would be good to hear of your exploits!

Yes totally right mate, it's definitely not easy. She started at 2.7 and finished at 3lb. You have to make adjustments all the time. I've just bought microsensory gps for next season. I get a flap on when she goes out of sight lol. I'll get in touch next season. Atb

Definitely mate, looking forward to it. 

You won't go wrong with microsensory it's the best on the market hands down. You can't beat the battery life if you have the tag with solar panels. The battery life let's the Marshall gps down badly.

Won't be long now just waiting for two primaries on each wing to drop. Looking forward to getting back on it.

Thanks Sandy, it was interesting watching the moult as you didn't quite know how he would turn out as he's a hybrid.

Yes he seems to have the build/shape of a redtail with the manners of a harris

I imagine,  just what would be hoped for

To be honest I couldn't be happier. Yes he has the easy going temperament and very pliable feathers of the Harris, with the strength/power and extra grunt of the Redtail.

Funny you should ask i have just reclaimed him from the moulting pen. Just had him jumping to the glove with the pointers present, so shouldn't be too long.

There you go taken this evening.
