[Shaun Byrne]

I've heard his are the best you'll get. If you're going to have one you might as well have a good one!!

[Gaz]

Bristol mate..best Finnish(guarranteed) Goshawks you"ll get

[GoneHawking]

Mick Kanes Gosses are £800 for males and about £2000 for large females, As much as I love gosses I think the prices maybe spiralling out of control??

[Varmint]

Yep my mate bought one of Micks Females last year, best Gos he's had?

Gonehawking, Pity you didnt try to buy one in 1985/6, they were between £2k and £3.5K?? but HH were £2k too??? with RT at around £1.5K?

They are a bargain now!!! :lol:

[GoneHawking]

Lucky me :lol: :lol:

Mick kanes the boz when it comes to Gos Gos!!

[Falcon]

Mick is a great chap and will be more than willing to give you sound advice. I've spoken to him on the phone and via email. Here's a link to a site with some pics and details of his birds, also his contact email address as well. Hope this helps, but get in there quick if you want to order one!!!

[Varmint]

What does MARTIN think of Mick Caine?

[Shaun Byrne]

I met Mick Kane once, he lives alone in the woods, no gas, no electric, only birds and dogs for company! Oh! And he's half man, half Goshawk! pmsl!!

[NightOwl]

Just put my deposit on a finnish male from mick which is going to be imprinted. Not heard a bad word about his gosses from everyone i know who doesn't talk through their a**.

many thanks

Mick Kane ps how ya doing shaun,

[Shaun Byrne]

Sound Billy, thanks.

Your a bit of a celeb then mate! lol!!

You'll find a few references to your good self in 1 or 2 threads. You better get ready for all the questions, there's quite a few Gos men on here. Mind you one of them keeps a CB and thinks he's an expert, I think his name's Martin or something.

and another :D

[Hiram Goertz]

I wish someone would explain to me what you fly a 3lb goshawk at? Sheep? Well, I suppose there are brown hares, but any other legitimate British quarry and a reasonable sized male, or a 2lb German would give more sport.

Of course, I don't know much about it but it seems to me a bit like going pheasant shooting with an 8 bore. Dragging around a damn great heavy weight which takes too long to line up is not my idea of fun!

Had Mick and his enormous imprints here a couple of years ago and they could not manage wild hatched pheasants and were beat after 200 yards, though they did manage to catch a couple of poults. Makes me laugh to think now that I actually imposed a bag limit!

[Goldie]

Hi Hiram, might be a good idea to batten down the hatch I got a feeling some flak might be heading your way :lol:

Not sure why, my personal feeling is that some people get too obsessed with weights.
Sure, I haven't heard a bad report about Mick or his bird's, however, I honestly believe that most of it is in the bird's 'heart'.
If it has the 'heart' for it, it will be in there doing the job.
2lb8 or 3lb, it is still massively outweighed by some of the quarry that it is flown at.
I have seen small birds put large ones to shame & vice versa, if a bird has the confidence, the 'heart' and the experience under it's belt, it won't make a massive amount of difference.

LLL.
