Goshawk on Pheasants over a Pointer and Spaniel.

- Another morning on a local farm hunting Pheasants with a Goshawk. The dogs worked a hedgerow and ditch down towards a wood. After a short hunt, Lush went on point and Fig the Spaniel flushed a Pheasant. Rhaegar was slipped and he struck the Pheasant just out of camera shot. Keith made his way in and after fitting the tail guard, Rhaegar was given time to plume his kill, before trading the Pheasant for his normal food. We moved on to a game crop full of Pheasants and after two further flights, Lush went back on point. A Pheasant flushed directly in front of us and climbed swiftly upwards. Rhaegar was right on it's tail, caught up quickly and struck the Pheasant within 30m. It's the best flight I have ever witnessed and Keith was delighted.

I'm a shotgun hunter, enjoy watching hunting vids, but watching your hunts with a hawk is like none other. Great hunt right there!
Thanks for your comment.
It’s a great sport and thoroughly enjoyable with so many opportunities. Have a look at my other videos.

Thanks. Great to see the goshawk doing what they were made to do. Perfect design, could not be improved even by AI
Yes they are great.
I love your game hawking footage, superb camera work!😎🎥
Many thanks.
Kenny
A lovely video showing falconry at its best.
That Goshawks is quick of the fist, lovely take on the pheasant in flight, a top video.
Good luck with your season lovely team.
I am glad you enjoyed the video. As you know it takes a lot of work and dedication to get a bird to this level. I will have a look at your videos soon. Thanks Kenny
@@kennywillmitt6404 yes I don’t comment on many Channels but this got me going, 👍
Much appreciated.
Kenny
Absolutely amazing! Thank you for sharing.
Many thanks.
Kenny
Great video 🦅🦅
Alan
Thanks again.
Kenny
Very impressive
Glad you enjoyed the video.
Thanks Kenny
That was something else practically clinical a perfect way to hunt and no one can say any different!
Keith certainly knows his stuff.
Thanks
Kenny
A wonderful Gos. My compliments.
Excellent hunting protocols. We use to hunt the same way. Good luck ❤
Very good fantastic catch in The Air during flight he caught
You ve got a lovely set up there mate. Falknersheil. Personally I wouldn't have combined a pointing dog with a flushing dog but it seems to work just brilliant for you
Thanks for your comment.
Lush is getting on a bit and struggled to push through the thicker cover along the hedgerow. She worked by herself in the game crop.
Kenny
A man I know runs a hawk with 2 GWP's. Its such a natural way of hunting and great to see your team at work.
Andy
Keith has two pointers and you can see them working together in one of my previous videos. It is great to get out and watch this fantastic sport.
Kenny
Thanks Kenny, I will take a look.@@kennywillmitt6404
Great video

Great video. I liked
Glad you liked it thanks.

Brilliant footage👍

Glad you liked it.
Thanks
Kenny
I’ve told my mate to look at your vids. He’s got a goss and it’s not as sharp as yours. I know nothing about it but I can tell his bird isn’t quite right yet🤷♂️👍
Ian
I am sure your mate will know how to sharpen his Goshawk up. It takes a lot of time, practice and knowledge to get them fit.
Kenny
Damn, that's why they are so prized. The acceleration is crazy
Yes they’re fast. Have you ever seen a Peregrine in full flight. Diving speed of over 300 km/hr?
@@kennywillmitt6404 yes
@@kennywillmitt6404 do they hit their prey with claws in the dive?
Yes, they use their talons to catch the prey.
Nice one Keith
Brilliant video that is lightning
Many thanks. Glad you liked it.
Kenny
Great video.
Many thanks.
Kenny
It's definitely fun to go hunting with the hawk. I like the bird very much. He comes to visit me very often and hunts my pigeons. Has already flown into the window 3 times. 😅 I even managed to take pictures of it 👍
Just come across your excellent channel and subbed,love the relationship you have with your dogs and hawk which is an awsome hunter,your pointer is a grand old dog,but the name lush,come on lol
Thanks for your comments and hope you enjoyed the video.
They belong to Keith, who has a fantastic relationship with them all.
Kenny
Superb to watch 👍
Glad you enjoyed it thanks.
Kenny
CLASSIC!!!! EXQUISITE!!!!
Many thanks.

زري ڏاڍو ڀلو جھپيوهو ، مونکي زري جوجھپڻ ڏسي منهنجي باز ۽زري جا جھپيل پکي ياد آيا. باز جي شڪار ۾ سڀ کان سٺو ڀلو شڪار جھپيل شڪار آھي
Wow, if I came to the Uk it would be cool to come out and see as a kind of paid thing
James
It is a fantastic sport to experience.
Kenny
Hi Kenny. I was wondering if I could ask a couple of questions. How often do you take the Goshawk out? Is it a finnish Goshawk?
It is a Finnish cross Albidus male.
Keith trains him just about every day on a lure machine. He’s hunted once or twice a week.
Thanks Kenny. The springer seems to work well as well. Springers are May favorite dog breed and goshawks my favorite bird of pray, so it's good to see they both work together. I see most people just using pointers.
Yes, they work well together, especially in thick cover.
I trialled spaniels many years ago and hold many special memories.

Bu goshawk eğitimi insana alışması sonra avlanma aşaması nasıl yapılıyor
👍👍🦅🦅👍👍
Aren’t they useful in woodlands with their short wingspan for grey squirrels?
In the wild, Goshawks are very astute at catching grey Squirrels and can form a large proportion of their diet. However falconers would be reluctant to use them for Squirrel control, as they have a nasty bite that could lead to injured tendons, loss of foot or death.
There is a huge amount of information and advice available online on the control of Grey Squirrels. Please see a few links as follows.

Hope this helps.
Fantastic to watch such an awesome raptor also sadly ironic that gamekeepers persecute these very birds in order to protect their game birds.
Glad you enjoyed the video, however in my experience, the vast majority of keepers don’t persecute birds of prey and that successful falconry is much easier on keepered ground, where good land management results in higher biodiversity, including larger game numbers.
Kenny
Nice videos ,have a spaniel myself and would see it hard work to use one under a Goshawk. I will be looking for a Pointer when the time is right to work under my Goshawk . Could you let me know where you got your short cuff glove from please .. Many Thanks
Its definitely more challenging and the success rate of slips drops as the flush is less predictable than with a pointer.
The glove is a Doug Pineo glove that was a gift from a friend
@@keithtalbot8836 yes am sure the lack of setup time makes it harder, but the anticipation is higher 😀.. Great thank you for the glove, sure it would be unavailable now . But never mind. Thanks again
Glad you enjoyed the video and I see Keith has replied to you about the glove.
Thanks
Kenny
@@kennywillmitt6404 all the best with the reason for the season
You too.
a great team indeed
They work well together.
Thanks
Kenny
