Ok, so here is another question that is a bit out on a tangent…

For the 1st time imprinter working with a Gos’…is it worth the risk to do a short hack period?

I live on 20 acres (3 are mine, 17 my ol’ man’s) and am surrounded pretty much by state land (no hunting state land) on a fair amount of the borders. None of my neighbors shoot (and if I was in question I can easily knock on doors and “prep” them for the possibility of them seeing an unusually tame hawk hanging around) Gos’ aren’t cheap and if this one was lost it would have a significant impact on my season but from all I read there are no doubts as to the benefits to the young birds mental state during those formative days.

Thoughts?
