Hello Chunty.
I have outfitted male harris hawks with either size 5 or 6. Females 9, 9.5.
There are some breeders in the southern US that are breeding real monster harris hawks. One female took a size 10.
Every hoodmaker as you have seen or will see uses a different sizing system and it also depends on style of hood.
