Falconry: Making a lure

This falconry video shows step by step how to make a leather lure for falconry. Lures are an essential piece of equipment used to train a falcon or hawk. Falcon and hawk lures are used in falconry for retrieval, exercise and flight training of a raptor. Though they are sold, falconry lures can be made by hand very easily as shown in this video.

Many ways to make a lure and they all retrieve well. I’m more industrial. I use a medium black and white canvas dog retrieving lure. Gets dirty, throw in washing machine. Cheap, so I have several I can hand out to others to retrieve a lost hawk. Works great on a lure machine too !

I just use a tennis ball with pigeon wings tied to them.

Thanks Ben a great video good information.

[@freebirdofreason1994]

Nice explanation, thanks for sharing 👍

[@FRamirez1A]

I don't put hardware in the lure itself at all. You can just put the swivel in another spot in the string attached to the lure!

[@wesleyworley8982]

I've had your book on trapping for years, and didn't put two and two together watching the videos! Excellent book, and I'm really enjoying the videos.

Super video ben. Helps me alot

Hey Ben! Hope you are on the mend and getting better every day. Quick question for you, would there be a downside to using dyed leather for a lure? I have lots of scraps from making rodeo chaps reds, whites and shades of blue. Can birds not see these colors as well as browns and black? Get well soon and thanks for the good content. thoughts and prayers for ya

[@erikapeng8847]

[@frigginchi]

Now you've made a lure now how do you wed a bird to the lure?

Nice video... What is the best material to make dugaza nets.... And what would be the thickness of the material to trap Eurasian sparrowhawk....

[@benwoodrufffalconry]

I am not sure what other people use. I inherited some industrial thread that is used to patch and repair trampolines. It is thin, but incredibly strong. I will see if I can find what brand it is.
