Is the Goshawk the Best Falconry Bird?

[@freebirdofreason1994]

Brilliant comparison, a Harris hawk in a thick wood is an interesting bird they do some pretty good manoeuvres. Well presented video, enjoyed it good luck and happy hawking.

I’ve watched this video multiple times and learn new information each time

Great job!!!!

you flying the bird out the car window got my sub, too cool! wish i had the time and space to do this but its a major commitment

[@joesuffredini9689]

HH are rad hawks but after you fly a gos it's hard to go back

[@mondoirsb7529]

Was a young falconer years ago with owls and kestrels. Would like to progress to bigger birds of prey so this was really helpful. Thank you 👍🏾

Great summary, I agree 100%!

Love your video !!! Thanks so much🦅🦉

Great video. Looks like the Harris hawk being cooperative hunters are much more easily manned,

Your comments about the "processing speed" and flight style of the goshawk really mirror what Ben Woodruff says, how they seem to have 20x faster "video" rate than us, and there's a fabulous video showing a goshawk flying through plexiglass tubes, barely the size of its body! So, at the end of the video, your opinions seem to match what I've seen in many ways... One thing that I was surprised about, it seems that, often, HH's will dive into the bush, one of the British falconers shows His HH deep in the bush, a lot! The HH is easier to live and work with, the GH kind of more "thrilling", but can be tricky to live with... Excellent video, sir, from someone who flies his HH "professionally"; probably not a "job" for the GH!

@@lohikarhu734 I do notice that HH are more likely to crash in their first year but do it Less and less to the point where they mostly stop.

Love this video. Beautiful birds 🐦

Oh my god what an incredible job you have! Dream.

[@forkehausfalconry]

Great video! I've never personally flown a gos but have several friends that do. I feel like the HH crashes much harder in my experience than a gos.... the male HH def have a more accipter type flying style... but... The gos speed is second to none! Thanks for making an awesome video!

[@desertkingsfalconry]

Maybe crashing is more dependent on the terrain. Our brush is often covered in spines and cacti.

[@forkehausfalconry]

I'm no expert that's for sure...I can only relate with my own limited experiences

[@Semendrija123]

You probably haven’t flown the peregrine of the fist?! Goshawk has advantage in the first 50 meters, but after that the peregrine will leave the goshawk in a dust 😅

Nice video, I've learned very much. Thank's for the skills. Greetings from Brasil.

[@bendixon5790]

nicely done dude

[@lohikarhu734]

I'm just beginning to watch, but have some opinions that can be tweaked... GH being sports car, HH being fast 4x4... Both usable, but different driving style and locations...

[@625jaymal]

Well put

U are sending them after crows?

Awesome video! Are you guys ever in Casa Grande?

[@desertkingsfalconry]

We are rarely there. But if you were interested in going hawking, Jason is always willing to take ppl out with him. Here is his insta. instagram.com/wilderness_wonders_usa_?igsh=MWF0MmF4ejB5YnB3ZQ==

[@craigdawson3450]

But you can lamp with a harris hawk

[@waynekieft4952]

If I went hunting with a rifle I would want that gun to be reliable all round! This is why after 21 years of hunting with GH I have reverted back to the trusty HH ! Goshawks made me lose my hair and go bald!

[@krisfarrar3896]

That's just your age kicking in. You've got to admit nothing compares to a gos hunting.

[@waynekieft4952]

@@krisfarrar3896 It depends on the game and the land you are hunting on! Personally I'm a long wing fanatic!

[@krisfarrar3896]

Something I've never tried but have a pere x saker coming this summer. I can't wait. What's your preferred longwing. I'm going to fly from the hood with this one. I know what you mean about going bald, I've a female gos that I blame for my lack of 🧐

[@waynekieft4952]

@krisfarrar3896 You should always fly out of the hood with long wings!!! My preferred falcon for hunting is a Peregrine! But my passion and love lies with Sakers ! In January I lost my best hunting Sakeret,the only male I had! Flew into a caravan window, killed him stone dead! I wouldn't recommend a Pere x Saker as your first longwing! Better off with a Lanner or Pere x Lanner! You will have your hands full with a Pere x Saker believe me!!

[@waynekieft4952]

@@krisfarrar3896 I've never heared of anyone personally that don't fly their GH from the hood!!! Especially females!!

Red tail hawks

[@craigdawson3450]

Goshawks dont quit chasing as easy as harris as a harris is more of a buzzard than a true hawk the goshawk has more drive to catch prey most harris hawks are way more steady and are a beginner bird a gos is more tempernental but stronger prey drive id say harris hawks are more intelligent aswell and they hunt in packs

[@lohikarhu734]

A buzzard,.. actually, closer to an eagle, less of a soaring bird than most buteos

[@codycox2685]

I really hope to see a Goshawk one day.

[@codycox2685]

I'm going to see a Goshawk in 2 days.
