trappa 518 Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Karl you dont need a licence but what you do need is experience! dont get the bird just cos its a bargain mate, you will kill it. Buy a few books and get yourself a mentor. ask questions on here, but dont buy it if you dont know what you are doing...PLEASE MATE Quote Link to post

trappa 518 Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 Fair do's mate. If you are serious for the future then you need to get out with him now to see whether its for you - a lot of people dont like the massive commitment they need. Also get some books bro, ask santa for a couple. They are great fun, but are hard work too. Quote Link to post

Lol,ive had a dissapointing season,i have a male gyr saker who we got for corvids,after entering him the weather,work,broken feathers on two occasions and bobs dislike for the black stuff(got a bit of a kicking) have really frustrated us.We are going to give him till the end of the season to buck his ideas up and take to it otherwise he will be moved on and a female pere saker or even a male Gos bought.

Yea the bird belongs to us both mate,i have trained it but Mick flys it also.He has a female 50/50 gyr saker also that hasnt been flew for a few years but is an AI bird and has threw quite a few chicks,we are probably going to try and fly her soon and just try and get her fit and hopefully enter her on spring crows.If you feel like a few hours out drop me a msg mate and you can swing the lure for Bob!
