Training my Hawk to the Lure | Falconry Apprenticeship Journey.
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Carol is a juvenile Red Tailed Hawk. Although its fun to say i have a pet hawk, Carol is much more then just a pet. She is being trained to hunt wild game and act as my hunting partner. I have a special licence that allows me to do this legally. We have been working together since early December 2018 and she has made a ton of progress. One important lesson to train your hawk is wedding them to a lure. The lure acts as a cheap insurance in case your bird is acting up, is spooked or otherwise doesn't want to come back. They are more likely to come down from a tree to inspect a lure even if they aren't hungry. Its also god for their mental state. Birds of prey are hardwired to hunt and kill, when they don't get the opportunity they become moody and dangerous. If they too long without hunting they become "fist bound" which means they rely entirely on the falconer to provide food. This is a negative thing for many reasons but mainly because if your not actively hunting with your bird then your are not practicing falconry, therefore you're not obeying the terms of a falconry permit. #falconry #birdsofprey #exoticanimals #animals #birds

Sure did miss Carol, I'm glad she is back on the tube.
Watching her fly to you never gets old.
Ya thats pretty sweet man. Super badass looking when she swoops down from a tree onto your fist
Guys I know use zip ties to hold the bait on the lure. The way it was explained to me is that when she has the game down you throw her the lure with fresh meat readily available- she will leave the game for the lure because it is easier to eat the lure meat then to start ripping into the game. Then while she is focused on the lure meat you grab the dead rabbit. I cant imagine hunting rabbits without dogs - you need to bust them out. Great video series you are doing I really appreciate it. I cant imagine how much commitment is involved to do this
That's pretty inspiring that you're doing very well with your hawk Carol. I like your content. I thought about doing falconry but watching you tells me it takes a lot of time and commitment and I don't have that as of yet. Keep up the good work oh, I look forward to your next video. God bless, Vic
I love that you show your mistakes. Too many people try and make everything seem perfect, but by showing your mistakes it allows others to learn from them.
So much to like here. I especially like that you resist the urge to grab the jesses every time the bird flies to your fist. As long as you continue this, she will not feel she has to pay a price to come to you.
For people that dont have any clue, you should tell everyone on the time frame from each video you do to when you caught her. This would be nice to see how much she has progressed from the time you caught her.
So cool... never gets old watching her fly to your hand
Beautiful shots of her in the snow. Need more.
I've become fascinated with falconry ever since I saw your first video with Carol. I have to remind you that what you're doing with Carol is probably quite a bit harder than what many falconers do -- since you caught her as a wild juvenile, she is most definitely a wild animal. Another video I saw was about a Cooper's hawk, and he made sure to get a chick, so that he could have it imprint on him. I think that makes a HUGE difference in how he relates to (and trains with) his hawk. What you are doing is harder, in my opinion...! It looks to me like you're doing great, keep up the good work.

OK, I knew I would get it wrong -- it wasn't a Cooper's hawk, it was a North American Goshawk -- here is the video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/gZ6otLRtYNKuerA.html
Might think about adding some weight to the lure so she can't run off with it, then you can work on the trade offs easier until she gets it down.
Just found this playlist and your channel and binge watched it. This is incredible! Keep it up!
cracks a beer..... haha Awesome brother, really enjoy watching this!
When you approach have a trade off piece ready so she can see it. Almost like you are giving her a peace offering.

Ran across your channel when you first got Carol. Your others videos are good. But it's nice to hear an update on Carol (got the ok and your reason is completely understandable).
I love you and Carol is doing so well. For all the haters, he needs to have the right licensing to do this. Without people like him, most of our hawks would be dead! If your thinking about getting a pet hawk STOP. Just watch these videos instead. That being said. Carol looks amazing and your so good with her. I love you both. LOVE FROM UTAH. You are an amazing person with an amazing animal. Love from Joe in Utah..
Love your videos, very authentic, love that you show and admit your mistakes. We have all been there and learn and grow from them. Good luck on the rabbit hunt. There is nothing more satisfying than finally having all your hard work finally come together
Awesome, Awesome Awesome, Keep going my brother!
Love watching your journey. Keep up the great work.
Dude I'm new and never knew that falconary could be so cool... Thanks man
Good job! When she is on the lure step on the line as you approach her, even from a distance, so that way she can’t fly away with the lure. Pretty soon she will understand that you just want to approach her and not steal her food. 👊🏻
I am a bird lover also. When I seen your video title saying you were about to catch a wild falcon I thought you were the most evil piece of crap that was ever on youtube. When I seen how close to dying the bird was when it crapped on your truck you became my hero.
Awesome work with Carol! Looking forward to the progress youz guys make!
Glad the two of you are back , missed the training vids
👍🤚nice seeing you both. 😃GOOG JOB CAROL👏she is doing pretty good we all have bad habits we have to break lol. Great captures of her in the snow. Thanks for sharing having a great time watching her progress. From Florida take care 💕
Great vid on Carol.... love what you're doing and shows you love the process. Don't let any haters screw with you. It shows you respect nature and Carol is great WITH YA. Thanks Maxx great job.
I love that damn bird. Thanks for some Carol action and good luck on your hunting trip.
Awesome video man keep them coming!
Great job man... this is so cool. I'm happy you are enjoying your life. This looks like it would be so great to get into.
Aaaahhhh… a Carol update. Love watching that girl work.
Pumped to see Carol back in your videos
Great vid! You’re training Carol so well. More Carol vids!!!
Dude that thing is sick huge congrats on raising it
That is one damn smart bird, haha! I feel like we can see her looking at you, at the bag, at the lure, and figuring it all out, in her own way. Though she kind of looked annoyed with you, too, as you removed the string from the lure. As if she was saying "Hey, hey, human, what the hell are you doing with my thing? That's MY thing, why are you putting it away?? I'm not DONE yet, give it back!" I am still very much enjoying your Carol videos! It seems like it's much harder to train a creature out of a bad habit, doesn't it? Not just hawks, really any animal and even people. Good luck on hunting her, and hope to hear from y'all again soon!!
Those last few shots of carol were incredible
Excellent progress.
Glad to see Carol back again.
keep them coming cant wait to see a hunting video !!!
man i just found your videos by total luck on youtube very cool and interesting stuff about that hawk I just watched em all straight :D keep posting
I came across your channel looking at CanAm X3 videos and now I'm hooked on Falconry!.... Not how I thought my time would be spent today but so worth it!

Unfortunately Falconry is illegal in Australia outside of rehabilitation and conservation so I will be living vicariously through you! Such gorgeous animals though! Thanks for the good content and keep up the great work!
I caught myself cheering when she responded to the bait and various commands like it's my bird 😂
It's long overdue for a Carol's video. Good to see one now but you still owe us at least 2 more keep them coming quickly 👌🏻
Just joined your channel. I can't wait to watch you catch rabbits with Carol tomorrow! : )
Beautiful video.
This is fucking amazing! Great job, great family. Keep up with the videos! Thank you
Awesome content man!
can we pls see a hunting video
soo cool love it
Finally a Carol video! Thanks
she is so cool!
Whoa I had no idea you had a falcon 😍 I've wanted one for years.
Love the vids!

Awesome!
I would totally love to hunt side by side with a hawk and my weimaraner for pheasants. I've seen videos of them doing this in Germany and it looked awesome.
Your family perfect
Thanks for the Carol content. I never get tired of it. How long do you think it will take until the "bad habits" are broken and she is fully trained?
we need a daily carol blog, no matter how mundane
You could get one of your dogs to help flush out game. Although, the relationship Carol has with other animals would take time as well. I subscribed to someone who owns a lot of Minks that that can dig through rat holes as a job.
I LOVE YOU, CAROL!
I could watch those slo-mos all day
This is so badass
Sacrilege, where is the lime in that Corona lol Great vids man
Dittos to all of the comments. Thanks Maxx and family
Too much work with the bird, but great content, learning a little and it’s interesting to watch the interactions. You do a good job respecting the Falcon, unlike the Patriots.
Has she taken game yet? How long have you had her?
How many grams or oz are you feeding her per day?
What part of Washington are you guys in? I’m from eastern Oregon, and am looking into falconry.
Falconry!!!!🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉
She's still young and was out of the nest for only a few months, it's a feed me response that chicks do so the parents feed them. My guess is that in some way she sees you as a parental figure and that when she sees the bag (as before with the storage container) as that she's going to be fed. That's just my guess, not sure if I am right but I do know that's what they do when they want to be fed as a chick.
I like the fact that your showing how difficult the training can be at times! Really! But I've been wondering.... Does your sponsor not want to be in your videos?? It would be very...educational to see the two of you working together with Carol. Also...was wondering... Once you've completed your apprenticeship and you become a general falconer, would you keep Carol? Or are you interested getting another type of raptor like a goshawk or falcon? Thanks man! Cheers!
yay carol
Early morning and evenings I always see rabbits out! Mid day they arent around too much.
Subbed bc I love birds
Quick question: What happens to the animals the hawk kills? Do you eat it, or cut it up and feed it to your bird later?
Has she managed to foot you ? It hurts soooo much I got a talon through my nail once
I’m studying to become a falconer
What cooler is that????
Ah yes. I love these falconry vids
Wooo
Man you're like a real life pokemon trainer lol
Right on, paying your dues, yes agree, they are full of shit. I would like to say that a lure is a full meal deal. 2 lessons, lure means a full crop and limits her desire to carry, making in to her will be much easier. Next year you will have to share your adventures with your new hawk, each one will keep teaching you, even after more than 2 decades I find each one teaches me something new. Good job, oh and only count to 3, lol

Is that a cooler or a fridge on your bench? Also something you might try, model airplane gliders have a box with a motor to pull them you could build something like this to pull the bait. I know they make them for falconry but i also know they are crazy expensive. maybe repurpose a garage door opener and you would have a remote.
