Guest MY LAW Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 i personly would not give the owl a chance with a good fox ,if the fox bit hard it would be good by owl ,look at the damage they can do to a good lurcher or terrier. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BULL 96 Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 that was a great vid, there was a guy down on dartmoor who goes out on horse back with his golden eagle and takes deer would he need permision or is there a loop hole in the law that states eagles are wild . he was on the local news people pay to go out with him for an afternnon Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think he is probably meaning your not going to get away with taking along a merlin or a spuggy hawk or something along those lines!!! yes your correct not a merlin or something small like that to train an egal or an egale owl to prove is a matter of being in the correct place a well trained egal that takes hare and deer is full capable of taking fox yes they get bit but the learn early i have see goldies take roe and fox and off to mongolia next year to take wolf with thes birds the power in the birds tallens is like a pit bull the hind tallen is the killer and is about the thick ness of a finger of a man look on youtube and you will see some good footage in mongolia takeing fox wolf ect then come back with you disision cant comment on egal owls as iv never seen any take fox but know they do a fox taking bop first has to take hares by the head then they can move to fox no good taking the arse of it saying a good lurcher gets banged up is a diffrent ball game the two cant be compeared Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest w.m.avian Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 (edited) watch weejohn vid clip and look a 1.35 were the egale takes hold of the foxes head that bird takes the head every time plus if you grab a bird what you get is a hand full of fethers as 85% is fether on a bird Edited December 27, 2008 by w.m.avian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
