was she on a bow perch last season ?

[HawkMan69UK]

no she wasent OF the tail feathers got smashed up during the season with too many tumbles with hare.. i had her on my version of the pole which works :) fantastic

[Tim Laycock]

See what you mean HM69.
You can see the "Sexy" feathers coming through :supz: :D

[OutFlying]

I just noticed the tell tale inverted "V" on the tail feathers. How many hares did see account for ? I will try the pole on the next gos, it looks a good idea and have had good reports on the raptor originals raptorpost.

OF.

[OutFlying]

Cheers I saw a similar one (raptor post) but not as large a top as yours. Do you need a tail saver when in use ?

[HawkMan69UK]

i leave it off occasionly mostly after she has had a bath just to dry off but i have left it off for longer periods and no tail damage

[Jastreb]

:) :rolleyes: :D

[M & J Raptors]

I used the raptor post last year, very good, but needed tail sheath on,to prevent any damage,

Makes good sense! Better safe than sorry

[HawkMan69UK]

getting restless now mias moult going well nearly all her chest is looking good some tail feathers down and you can really see the difference between old and new feathers went in tonight and she fed on the fist no problem but got restless half way through a quail and decided the higher perch was the best option http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y145/darkbluefalcon/c.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y145/darkbluefalcon/t.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y145/darkbluefalcon/mgi.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y145/darkbluefalcon/hhj.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y145/darkbluefalcon/46.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y145/darkbluefalcon/6.jpg :lol: :lol: :lol: :D

The talons look a little blunt, are they ? when using astroturf for perch covering I cover the sides as well (where the talons rest).

[GoneHawking]

Hawkman, with all this hot weather does that plastic sheeting cause the mews to get really hot?? I use the green netlon gardeners stuff, the stuff you can cover ponds with, but being netting it is breathable, really strong too.

[HawkMan69UK]

not really worried yet OF she will be moved when she is all finished ... leather is always a good way of getting talons needle sharp i find :wink: and combine that with the power its allllllllllll good

[OutFlying]

[HawkMan69UK]

behind the sheeting there are quite thick shrubs so getting hot not a problem plus a nice cool bath always available i got netlon on my oher mews where the sun hits it direct and your right works a treat :lol:

[GoneHawking]

Nice one mate. 8)

[Tim Laycock]
