Thanx for the info. I did some reading on other threads and Looks like I would be better taking time off at this stage and working with the bird and getting it out in the field and spending time with it.
Also I can not find the thread on Chris L bird
I searched and even went through his posts. Anyone know the name of the thread, I would love to read it

Also any reading that anyone can recommend?
I read a lot about hacking. I can not hack where I live, but could I take the bird out and just let it fly around for a few hours in the morning out in the desert? Could even go up to the mountains and let it fly around. Would this do any good or just be a waist of time?
Thanx for the help on this thread and everything people have posted over the years on raising goshawks. I have been readingike crazy and there is so much info to take in.
