Just wanted to follow-up a bit. As of yesterday we ended his hack. First was the brother-in-law's chickens, then was the complaints about the bird chasing swooping some of the neighbors'dogs and cats. Then we moved him to the small wooded section down the street and early this week a cop drove by my house monday evening looking for me to repsond to a lady who called about the hawk in the yard for most of the day and thought it was "lost". Then the next day my brother went to pick him up around 5pm from the wood lot and saw him on the ground. Just a slight jingle and no vocalization. At first he thought he was just playing with leaves or something as he gets closer he thought maybe its a squirrel but when he got up to him, he could see that the gos caught a wild pigeon and ate a good portion of it.




We decided to end the hack at this point and work on some other things. We feel it the hack has served him well in developing physically and mentally even to the point of catching wild game on his own with no food reduction. We'll see what happens when we cut his weight. He still does not like the Giant hood and would rather jump at the door than eat. We'll work on that in the short term.
