Getting the hang of hanging on to mallards!

[Goshawk]

We're up to four mallards so far this year. It's not a lot, but at least they are in the area.  Stay Dry!

Since you aren't discharging a gun, can you hunt anywhere?

[X-Force]

That’s awesome!

Coolest thread on this forum! Keep it going!

Just about, with all due respect to trespassing laws, and of course public interference. I wouldn't take birds, rabbits, or squirrels in a park where others are enjoying them.

Funny I was imagining how awesome to go clean out Borst Park

Wouldn't want my bird to get impaled on used meth needles!

But could you imagine how awesome your Hawk would be meth'd out chasing after birds.

Just what I need. A falconry bird attacking chip trucks on I-5, and winning!

What an awful thing to say, is the waterfowl hunting that awful?

So the hawk grabs them by the head in flight?

That's the way it's supposed to work.  Most of the time the duck out flies the hawk.  Being a Harris's Hawk, she's not as fast as a Goshawk.

Real cool and rare stuff.
Congrats.

Got a Cooper here at my place. Been around for years. I get to watch him nail dove and juncos

There you go! A taste of falconry without all the federal and state paperwork!  Excellent!
