Goshawk hunting Pheasants along side the Pointer! Goshawk and Harris Hawks Hunting Prey

Today we were out in Scotland Hunting with the Goshawk and German Wired Haired Pointer, Connie in the morning. We had a great couple of chases on some big, strong pheasants but no luck. Watching Connie point is an awesome thing to witness. Just needs to build up a bit of courage but I have high hopes for the Goshawk.
Then later on we got the 2 Harris Hawks out and had some great fun with them. They are on fire at the moment and barely missing anything that moves. Bolt managed to bag 4 Rabbits whilst Luca caught 1 which he enjoyed. I love working with the Hawks.
Thanks for Watching :)

[@thehawkwalker4813]

Yeah they are awesome to work with! Glad you are enjoying the videos ☺️

It's funny that you'd not fly the Harris's on pheasant, as we've seen some good video of fit Harris's really going after pheasants!
That Bolt seems to be showing how impressive a fit Harris's can be...fast and persistent, combined with calm personality, hard to beat!

Well, grams, or ounces, those birds pack so much power per pound!

[@paulhampson8496]

Great job young man really love this great work

[@thehawkwalker4813]

Thank you for the kind words ☺️

[@lohikarhu734]

Gosh, it would be a lot easier to compare weights in grams, instead of that pounds, ounces and decimal ounces ;-)

In this video did you use a gps on goshawk

[@lohikarhu734]

If you don't come to kill tahe rabbit, how do the hawks actually put it down, if they "bother"....I've seen that some hawks actually suffocate prey, by gripping it about the lungs with their feetm and just bearing down on it, so's it can't get a proper breath....falcons, a different story! Amazing how they bang onto a bird, with so much power, then snip through the spine! Not always so neat and clean, but I've seen a Goshawk take a bird and just rip at it, never mind...

How often does the goshawk need to go out hunting? I here some people say everyday and others 3-4 times a week.

[@thehawkwalker4813]

As much as possible i would say. They require attention daily however to keep their weight right and so on.

Thanks. Enjoying watching your videos. I really like the Gos.
