How to train an early trapped passage red-tailed hawk to hunt squirrels for falconry

How to train an early trapped passage red-tailed hawk to hunt squirrels for falconry
Join Rossa my passage red-tailed hawk and I as we work on squirrel training.
Thanks for watching our falconry adventures and make sure to check out my other videos as I have lots of how to videos on falconry (i.e. how to trap a hawk, how to train a hawk for falconry, how to build a giant hood, how to trade off and many more) We are also working toward "going live" on some hunts so you can join us and see what falconry is all about.
A falconry license is required to own/hunt a coopers hawk in Ontario.
Contact Ontario hawking club for more information.
I'm in my forth year of falconry and I'm always learning so please check with your sponsor if you have any questions.

Never seen a Gray stay on the ground so far, and never seen a Red tail fly/run that far a Gray before. Great video.

[@ACRfalconry]

Same. it was a crazy chase

[@rcurrie88]

That was an awesome chase!

[@ACRfalconry]

I was surprised she didn't give up as it was such a long chase for her. Red tails will surprise you at times

[@codycox2685]

That was awesome.

[@ACRfalconry]

Thanks

[@TKFCEO-ud5ck]

Well done 🎉

[@ACRfalconry]

Thanks

[@625jaymal]

Good job. Even when u miss.

[@ACRfalconry]

I was impressed with her not giving up right away. I find Red tails usually give up after first attempt

[@blackalien1886]

Well done bro. where have u been the whole time I was findind the man like u And I can't wait to see the more content u creat Well done man well done

[@ACRfalconry]

Thanks for watching. I haven't been filming lately as it's a lot of extra work when flying but I will start again.

[@Rynriley]

I love your videos. Can you do a video on all of your equipment for your RT?

[@ACRfalconry]

Absolutely I will do one on equipment. I will work on getting one out soon

[@jeffr5348]

Awsome

[@ACRfalconry]

thanks for watching

[@rhys5343]

Nice video could you do one on how to dispatch a squirrel.( If KZbin lets you)

[@fletcherhall1306]

Yes I think that would be very helpful and something that’s not often talked about on youtube

[@anthonycapuano8554]

Neck twist, one hand on the torso, other around the head, but be sure to have heavy gloves... I've been bitten by many and the little bastards cause major damage with those incisors!!!

[@ACRfalconry]

I will add that into one of my videos this season.

[@anthonycapuano8554]

Are we going to see anymore trapping videos soon? I wasn't planning on trapping this fall but my Harris is up, recovering from an injury, soni think I'm going to start trying in a week or so?

[@ACRfalconry]

I will be trapping in September

[@anthonycapuano8554]

@@ACRfalconry I'm already seeing passage birds in the area... Starting to get the itch lol

[@anthonycapuano8554]

How do you key in on areas for trapping to increase success? Last year, I found nearly all hawks I saw were adults. This year, I noted a few passage birds in August and while I haven't yet started looking in earnest, I've seen very few birds on the roads. Not sure if the migration has started yet

[@ACRfalconry]

I like to wait until the first good cold front with a north wind moves them down. Looking at the weather it should start next week and we will start to see more

[@luisfontanez1770]

Did you look to the side to visualize the squirrel getting hit or was it a memory, 🤷‍♂️ I’m just saying

[@TRubenJrTapia]

I need you to help me, show me how to start raising and training hawks. Where do I start?

[@ACRfalconry]

First you need to get a sponsor in your area. You can look online to find someone.

[@mixedup72]

How early trapped is this passage? I've heard branchers can be extremely aggressive.

[@ACRfalconry]

It was early September if I remember correctly. Not a brancher

[@mixedup72]

@@ACRfalconry Perfect. Usually I trap around Oct-Nov time frame. This year I’m going to trap mid September

[@CubanC]

Im a subscriber from KZbin and I love the falconry vids… I got a red tail hawk late after season and my sponsor won’t reply how can I make it stop from baiting and jumping away from me

[@katyjona07]

Ate you making a new video

[@ACRfalconry]

Thanks for the support but I'm struggling to get motivated to make one right now.

[@katyjona07]

I am a apprentice falconer in Oregon and I learn things watching your videos and other people I had a red tailed that I couldn’t make him hunt squirrels he was just interested in mice

[@todddoetken2594]

@@katyjona07 - Trap a FEMALE next time.

[@ACRfalconry]

@@katyjona07 Thanks for watching and I hope you are enjoying my new videos this season so far and I have lots more planned. How did you make out with the Red tailed hawk on squirrels?

[@wheat8448]

Waiting for the next video. Any day soon I hope your videos have helped me. I've work on the rehab side for a number of years it's completely different training a bird for education. I'm currently in the process of getting my falconer's license. Im very excited.

[@ACRfalconry]

Thats awesome. I plan to do some more videos this season.

[@wheat8448]

Keep up the great work
