we use harris hawks , seasons are the same as shooting seasons ,
and yes it is a big commitment keeping one, if you want to get
into bop your best off finding a mentor and learning from them
before buying a bird

Yes I use a Buzzard. I carved it from closed cell foam put
taxidermy eyes in it and painted it up, its great for bringing
in the crows especially hoodies. They like to be above it so I
usually put it low or on the ground near some trees, they
usually come in to have a look.
