Tyla 3,179 Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 it states on here that hounds flush to birds of prey, is that right? Sounds to me like the media getting confused? i only follow the hunt once or twice a year so im no expert but i've never heard of this, anyone know any more about it? http://uk.news.yahoo.com/21/20081226/tuk-f...rt-6323e80.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dogs-n-natives 1,182 Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=nRYtQmYED10 This is just to show some birds in action, although they will likely be 'canned hunts' with released wolf/foxes. Not many hunts will have a Bird of prey present, but it is one way around the laws. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sterry 0 Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 I've heard of the use of european eagle owls and golden eagles, but i want to know how they stop the dog charging in when the birds caught it. i imagine it could get messy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest w.m.avian Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 yes it is a loop hole but and a big but if the law comes along they have to prove that the bird is capable of taking fox any graet size egal can bring down a fox and so can a female egale owl it is legal to kill mamales with a hawk and legal to use a pck of dogs in aid to flush game to a hawk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
