Thanks for a great video. It's nice to see the whole process in sequence, though I'm sure it was a chore to film and edit all of it. Also really liked your mews. Looks well designed. Does your state require inspections or specific dimensions? Also, do you keep your hawk or release and trap a new passage in the autumn?
@TheDesertSportsmanАй бұрын
Thank you for the kind comment! Yes our state (Arizona) does inspect the mews when you first build it. Though there are no specific size requirements, they will not approve one that is not appropriately sized. So far I have released each year and started over. Just waiting for the "right" one to keep multiple seasons. Plus I am still fairly new to this (4 full seasons under my belt) so I like the idea of learning from training different personalities each year. Thanks again for the comment and for watching!

I would be a terrible falconer because I would go get the bird the food when ever it looked at me like she was hungry. The bird would probably train me , LoL....

How many month did the hawk finish the training

What an amazing process! I decided to look up falconry on a whim and this did not disapoint. So interesting and awesome.

Great stuff! I am big into dogs and recently took on the challenge of a Belgian Malinois. He loves the rough ground here in Southern California and I go without boots, much more driven/energetic than a golden or lab running through the sharp/rough stuff especially chasing something. I've been training bird dogs my whole life but I've yet to put boots on them unless they get a cut or need the protection (goat head burrs). I've been interested in falconry, but I need to get this Malinois sorted first before the next big challenge - we're on 4 months as a team and I am not disappointed with the breed. Glad you're sharing your adventures with your feathered and fur covered partners, it's always interesting to watch!

What was the time frame of these training? days or weeks,
@TheDesertSportsman3 ай бұрын
About a month from trap to first free flight with this bird. Have had some take as long as a month and a half and some take as little as 2 weeks.

Okay question… when practicing falconry maybe not get it right 100% of the time but when you actually become experienced can you make a bird loyal 100% of the time? Or do some birds just have more free spirit than others and decide to never come back to your palm eventually ? Just a question !
@TheDesertSportsman3 ай бұрын
One thing to keep in mind is that birds of prey are not social creatures so they will never get an emotional attachment to you. With that being said, each raptor has it's own personality and some seem better suited for the sport than others. I have had red tails that seemed to never get it so I returned them to the wild and I gave had some that picked up on it right away and almost seemed to "enjoy" my presence. Hope this answers your question. Thanks for watching!

I liked and subscribed. Kudos to you as a falconer, your RT and the dog. My only advice I have, is the footage. Head mounted GoPro's are hard to watch, unless you just show the chase. Chest mounts are more stable for viewers. Just my two cents, I'll be watching future videos. 😎🎥👍
@TheDesertSportsman4 ай бұрын
Thanks for the support and kind words of encouragement! Yeah I have tried a few methods of recording and agree the head mount can shaky at times. However, with the chest mount it always seemed like I missed the action because turning my body towards the action takes longer (and is less natural) than turning my head. Also I like to have the camera up a bit higher. I will definitely keep it in mind for the future though.

Ruff Wear makes great boots. Having run search/ tracking dogs in the exact same terrain, I only bring out the boots when the terrain actually affects the dog (cuts, tears, cholla, etc), otherwise, they go bootless.

Snatching the lure away from her teaches her that you are competition. You also shouldn't have the bells slapping around that loose - you're going to bruise her legs and hallux.

Yes most of the time I have to dispatch the rabbit, which I try to do as quick as possible. There are a few occasions that she has slipped a talon through the skull and the rabbit is deceased by the time I get there.

Excellent,excellent video and documentation. This is a great example of how to make a video. It was all about the subject and not the person.
