browning525shooter Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 Hey everyone, We suffer badly from grey squirrels on our land, and I am very active in shooting the *******. I have heard of greys being hunted by falcon, and thought this would be quite fun to see/try out. If there are any falconers out there who live in the Thame, Oxfordshire area and would like to come and have a hunt for some squirrels then please just PM me and we can sort something out. Thanks b525shooter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saker-Clive Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 There wont be any one flying falcons at squirrels but you might get someone flying Redtailed hawks. We generally try and steer clear of tree-rats as they can inflict nasty bites and put the hawk out of action for a long time. You could try the IFF (international falconry forum) http://www.falconryforum.co.uk/ but definately shooting them will be your best and more efficient way of getting rid.

jonevo Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 As previously posted they get a tad nasty them squirrels, a good .410 and a little patience try baiting up a specific area for a few days and ambush the little darlings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
