Getting the hang of hanging on to mallards!
« on: October 24, 2025, 05:26:38 PM »
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?

That’s awesome!
People get offended at nothing at all. So, speak your mind and be unapologetic.

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.

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

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? 
Don't read my post if facts hurt your feeling.

So the hawk grabs them by the head in flight?

Cool video

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.
