You need to be selling up and buying a farm (prefereably with several acres of potential off-roadable land).

So when are you giving us a demo of your Falcon in action then? [-o<
Title: birds
Post by: timberdog on March 10, 2006, 17:02:53: Thats why i have them apart from i hink animals are better than Humans..

I am totally Country ways etc to the point of now teaching all the kids the ways of the Country and what to look for wildlife wise and they all have gone hunting with me but i dont force it if they do not want to go again..

I just feel allot of the old ways arr now lost and need to be taught more

I fly the Gyr each day and its hard work as well as a joy as you have to keep them fit they are like a long distance runner if you dont train them each day the get unfit and and do not pursue game so keenly

A friend has a couple of Harris Hawks and flies them on our fields in a vain attempt to control the rabbit population.... no chance :lol: We also have a resident barn owl.. been there for a couple of years now. Had it land on the bull bar one evening.... fantastic :shock: The LR even had the engine running at the time. I was stunned!

I don't, but he used to use them for rabbits in our fields. Trouble is they used to go after the squirels and they can do a lot of damage to the birds.

I was only kidding :)

I havnt seen that Jimmy's farm yet. It seems a bit River Cottage Ish if you ask me. I prefer the latter.

I had a freind who used to come hunting with me. He had a Buzzard. He broght it one day, and WOW what a Tool. I seriously thought about selling the Guns. But i still have them. Thay are like my Second Hands. Hence the Username. :)

Ask at the smallholding where you keep your calf. Either that or ask the owner if they know any farmers.

The local pub is also a good place to ask. :)
