There have been two hawks close to home I've been keeping an eye on. The one I've really wanted to see up close wouldn't come to the BC trap. I got a pigeon harness in the mail and we started catching birds left and right!

Hey hey...I love learning new stuff. This is the first time I've seen one trapped with a pigeon. Nice job. Thank you for recording and sharing your experiences.

No shortage of attitude! But she's already manning down nicely and hasn't tried to bite or foot me. Thank you!

In Michigan, I see hundreds of hawks, owls and eagles purposely ran over on the side of the road. From, looking at tire tracks, some of the cars go up to 20 feet off the lane to strike them.

That's a shame. I go to Michigan on fishing trips and I see a lot of birds of prey up there.

What size of hood do you use? It seems to fit every bird you trap regardless of the weight. Thank you!

@FinsandTalons 3 ай бұрын

This is a 64, but it's a little snug for this bird. I have a 66 on its way.

Congrats on your new bird. I wouldn't feel right flying smaller red-tails on squirrels either. I want a large female with nice sized feed. I know people who hunt fox squirrels with Harris's hawks, which makes me cringe.

Nice, I’ve made contact with my sponsor he’s only one county over he’s telling me be patient it’s not quite time yet to catch my first bird, we,re in Mississippi terribly dry and hot not seeing much yet although a pair of red shouldered showed up I’ve been watching them hunt here around the place. Ready to get started. So you,ll be doing video of training this bird? She’s a chunk, I,d like to follow along. Thanks for video s they help boost my confidence.

If I may ask , that spray you used on the hawk , what is that for specifically ?

@FinsandTalons 3 ай бұрын

@@hoodbillyjohn9589 It is a natural fly repellent for horses. I use it on the birds to help keep the flat flies, external parasites and mites at bay. Sevin dust has been used on the birds for years but this natural spray seems to work well also, and I've not had any issues with the insects after I've sprayed my birds with it that I keep.

@@FinsandTalons I kinda thought it was something along those lines , thank you for clarifying. Awesome u even spray the ones u set free back into the wild and not just the ones you keep , you sir are natures keeper.. I find this very cool how u catch these birds , seems just as easy as fishing for ya.

As a newcomer to the channel you should explain what’s going on. lol it’s every interesting but why spray them? What’s the snare set up look like? Do the pigeons just get bludgeoned to death and then they’re disposed of? I’m not an animal activist or just curious. This is cool.

@FinsandTalons 3 ай бұрын

@@japewaltzer Sorry, it's been explained in the past few trapping videos - trying not to repeat over and over to the regular viewers too much. The spray is a natural insect repellent (contains essential oils). The birds carry flat flies, mites and external parasites. This helps keep them at bay. The pigeon harness is a leather jacket that goes around the pigeon with snares on the back of it that cinch down on the hawk's feet. The pigeons are usually killed immediately, but the first hawk in this video just hit the harness and got caught right away, not killing the pigeon.
