Take a Novice under your wing.

[wanderingstar]

Just spent a brilliant day with Hannah and her birds. Thankfully someone was willing to give me a chance to learn. Have been trying to find someone like this for quite a while, and she didn't make me squeeze doc not that I would have minded. See you later Hannah, thanks again.

np lol - but that rabbit in the freezer is waiting :twisted: :supz:

knows quite a bit already - anyone closer who could take him out hunting with proper hawks? Im still learning as far asd the hunting bit and dont want to teach him mistakes.

nice to see you

Han

I'll bring my knife next time I see you. If you do it before I see you would partially defrosting it help, hopefully leaving all guts frozen and coming out in one lump.

[MoltenMetal]

[wanderingstar]

Cheers Steve,

Ian.

[MoltenMetal]

Ian.

put a "d" in it, I think it should have read "second birds"

[MoltenMetal]

birs is birds after a bottle of smirnof lol

[wanderingstar]

LOL Perhaps I should have had a bottle of whisky too.
Ian.

[Adam Barrett]

well done hannah.
i believe that taking a novice under your wing is a good way to help others out and get them involved.
with all the talk of people buying a bird and then comming on here to ask what size an aviary should be and asking what is a flying weight etc, its obviously better knowing what you are doing first.
we have all talked about it and we all feel strongly about it.
if more members were willing to take a novice under their wing our sport would be in a much safer position and a far better and secure future there would be.

[wanderingstar]

Cheers Adam, That will be great,
Should have come on here a couple of years ago. There was a bloke in Rochdale who was going to take me out, but it never materialised. Let me know when your ready to go.
Ian.

[wanderingstar]

Adam,
You offered to take me out hunting with you. Haven't heard from you for a bit, how are things doing?
Ian.

[Adam Barrett]

Well mate the invite still stands the bird is ready, just waiting for the cover to die down a bit, im trying to secure some new land by the end of this weekend just outside burnley, so once that is secured i can basically do any day you are free mate.
