Longtime interest in falconry and hawking!! Once was able to hunt several times with a Gyr falcon trainer taking pheasant and crow! She was almost pure white with dark spots, very strong and would wait on or fly from the fist! Beautiful to watch!

[@pauldurkee4764]

Wonderful to watch hunting in an age old fashion, as before the shotgun was thought of. Lovely to watch the dogs working the woods, and what an impressive bird the goshawk is. 👍

[@robbiebanks9182]

As a angler of 50 years that looks brillant fun to me. I love the way sparrow hawks and goshawks can fly at speed through cover in pursuit .lovely vidio .just got my first really good look at a red kite yesterday about 6 miles south of Banbridge on A1 .beautiful bird bit more graceful looking than buzzard

[@riverrebel1]

If someone randomly asked me "What do you think Irishmen hunting pheasant with hawks would look like?" This would be it, the outfits, types of dogs, the forest, everything about this is perfect

[@Kitiwake]

Not all Irish here by any means.

[@xgp_ryu4185]

Such gorgeous, gorgeous landscape, like what you would find in a story book.

[@jeremyshukin5012]

I love how you can tell the dogs are having the times of their lives just givin er in the bush

[@scourneene]

Irish descendant in northern ontario Canada here. I hunt with a 20 gauge shot gun, on long walks, solo, deep in the woods, we have wolves running around, I have a wolf tag, so I carry heavier ammo for that in case. We have the very odd ring necked pheasant like I'm seeing there but mostly sharp tailed grouse, rabbit, wild cats, moose, in the north, all you'd expect. I love Ireland, the history, family came from Lough Gill, Sligo ( last name is Cuirnín). I figured I'd see you guys with rifles at the start of the vid but this was quite something. We can get flacon licenses in Canada, you got me thinking, save coin on ammo, I had no idea of their abilities. You men really dress it up, I have good gear and thermo as it's cold up here -35 celcius at worst off Lake Superior, I couldnt get away with my cap from Ireland maybe early fall. Anyhow hope to make it over.

[@williamoneill5498]

Sounds like you got the countryside for it there too. Good luck, hope it works out.

[@scourneene]

@@williamoneill5498 yep we have at it for generations.

[@seadrifter8975]

Canada has great countryside forest and animals 👌

[@scourneene]

@@seadrifter8975 It's really does, I spent the day off Ranger Lake Rd. Which is north of Sault Ste. Marie Ontario if you want to look on Google maps. There are a ton, ton of lakes. Most of them are loaded with trout. It's a drive but worth it. You Irish would love. There are descendants that loged out the roads into the backcountry.

[@RichardJBrowne53]

Nice to see that Hawking is alive and well in Ireland. The birds look great and lots of game taken in fine style.

[@50buttfish]

It even PLUCKS the feathers for you.

[@Gman6755]

Looks like a very fun day of hunting! Always love watching dogs work a field and hedgerow. Dogs doing what they were born to do and Goshawks doing what they were born to do. Cool video.

[@GreenHavenFarms]

Target acquired: launch feather missile.

[@ItsJordanR]

I know goshawks are built for it, but man that gos can move!! Great Video, hat's off for the true falconers not ones who fly birds in shows, but who actually hunt the bird

[@esox4809]

Fantastic video thanks for sharing

[@tonyashton453]

Stunning birds of prey just fantastic to watch, the hours of training must be phenomenal!

These folks are real pros - I enjoy watching and appreciate their care and dedication to the goshawks!

excellent camerawork and good to see Goshawk on top form..

[@koleschlaw]

3:50 birds like "let me go bro, I got this."

[@drakestone-smolinski1415]

There is a beautiful cooperation between 3 animals to get a meal. I want to get into falconry more than hawks just cause I love the tenacity and efficiently of the smaller prey birds. But amazing video nonetheless! That was awesome.

Wicked cool! I'm not familiar with goshawks they seem like a praregrine falcon similar stature speed appearance and lb for lb even tougher then big hawks and eagles very very cool I'm jealous and now I want a goshawk and I love how they so small but no problem dispatching huge pheasants etc. So cool!

That’s an amazing watch. How long did it take you to feel comfortable that the birds were ready to hunt with?

3:48-3:52 it saw the bird early before it launched look for its head to lock on and tilt.

Stunning countryside.

[@soanca6226]

I m like my friend 👍🏿👍🏿 very2 nice 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@iwalkincircles2960]

You can tell when the hawk sees the pheasant before the dog flushes it. He gets to take off before you release it.

[@bradleywoods3742]

It's amazing how the dogs is running through thick brambles like its nothing, does it not get hurt?

very nice video and watching Don in action with a goshawk.

[@MGAnnAd]

The must have amazing hit ratio. Wonder how these birds (Hawks) spend their time in wild (after catching their prey)? Don't think the pheasant's can escape the hawks (too slow in flight). Thanks for sharing.

[@nobodylistenstodenny]

Very kewl , but to much time retrieving the bird for me . I live in the midwest and have always wanted to try this with a falcon or osprey 👌...kewl video for sure 👍👍👍👍

[@Huntertom365]

cracking video i want to own a goshawk now...

[@bryanballack9804]

i'm love hawks ! good video !

[@classicrider5274]

Appreciate it’s a long time since video uploaded but I came across it and wondered why the hawks spread their wings when feeding after the kill. There must be a good reason but I know nothing about hunting with birds.

[@roflcopterIII]

It's called mantling. It's just a thing they do to prevent other hawks from stealing it. They'll also sometimes puff themselves up to look bigger and flare their crests.

[@oldschool3484]

That Hawk saw that lheasant before the owner did.

[@andrewfields8556]

Ireland... beautiful...

[@PoutinePete]

Goshawk should have a little GoPro so we can see the kill.

[@levilenz6302]

Too small of a raptor

[@googleuser3009]

Примечательно то , что сокол замечает добычу еще прежде, чем она взлетит 3:53.

Indeed...the sport of kings...magnificent...

[@josephk7954]

My father shot Pheasant with a shotgun and you'd occasionally get a pellet in your mouth eating roast Pheasant, hawking gets around this problem nicely.

[@Lima-mi4zr]

Caça de alta classe cavalheiros, bom trabalho.

[@jrizzledrizzle4697]

This is awesome

[@austinstrong9376]

This is the type of conservation I like to see. Guns are useful tools when it comes to hunting and conservation, but they're also dangerous. It makes me happy that there are skilled professionals that can use animals like hawks and falcons as nature intended - hunters!

[@ottosparky]

Let's see: Dogs, Goshawsks, radio tracker, guns, ammo, marching through wooded area. etc.! I think I'll go to the store and buy pheasant; cheaper and less time consuming.

[@elvinjasper516]

This is some aristocratic shit right here. “Hunting with a 12 gauge? 20 gauge today?” “Nah. Hawk.” “And I thought buckshot was expensive!”

[@patricknyhan7491]

Ya know mideval peasants used falconry to hunt for survival, and it’s not actually that expensive (you don’t have to constantly buy ammo for a Hawk 😉). It just takes more time and commitment.

[@bryanbiltoft8141]

I don't think you'd want to use buckshot on pheasants, lol.
