A beautiful story and video!! A hawk in flight The clearing sky A young man's thought An old man's cry. -Wendell Berry. Cheers.

Awesome tribute to one of NC's most skilled and humble falconers.

[@sophiaross9942]

Amen. He visited my school today and we had no idea how big he is in the falconry world. He didn't make even the slightest boast.

[@bobmyerly7189]

Most of us who flew RT's earlier in our falconry experience, but have since gone onto other species of hawk will never forget the thrill of seeing a RT on quarry with hackles fully raised. Thanks for including that scene.

[@Rocky1765]

Loved my Red-Tail! I seldom hunted with helpers. Looks like you all had a lot of fun!

[@danielkimball2666]

Excellent production!! That video got me super pumped for trapping my next RT

[@edithwoodward2676]

I love birds of prey well done!!!!!

[@billdavis9855]

unbelievable my name is Bill Davis also,and I hope to some day be as great of a falconer as this gentleman for we share the same name and interest.

[@cibernet.]

hello friends, I have a white tail eagle and I would like to train it for the rabbit hunt, I have already put the cap on it and I would like you to tell me next that it is what I have to do to continue training it. Thank you very much and congratulations for your videos. greetings from Mexico.

Falconry is a lifestyle, your best bet is to work with a sponsor. Without a sponsor you won't be doing good but harming the bird. Also, you can read books about falconry. Falconry is all about weight managing the bird. Without proper weight managing, and training everything fails. Good luck!

[@Carambolero]

Wow. Domesticating/Petting a wild animal. That is something. Nice video though, congrats to the cameraman.

[@jchen8942]

not exactly domesticating, these falcon are free to leave at anytime and if they do, they usually don't return to humans. its part of falconry.

[@christobelcarloff3478]

Is that a sport? What does the person do?

[@Themightysevfighter]

Train a fucking bird to hunt and come back to them

[@Shumway03]

Themightysevfighter, Be nice. Respect.

[@MC-fb9ft]

The bird already knows how to hunt, and it doesn't bring the game animal back, you have to go get it from the falcon or hawk.

[@Mysterialic]

I can't be cool like that.

[@ninjagaming9183]

I see your all vedio

Hello

[@Jaz_kinko]

If you use a owl instead, should it have a mask

[@rightwingreefer1449]

U don't use owls to hunt

[@Jaz_kinko]

+Mrfishman 96 yes you can, thousands of people choose to use an owl to hunt

[@rightwingreefer1449]

+Kaleb Mallet not for descent quarry. They have very poor eyesight and hunt with sound. Most falconry owls are hand reared which makes them a bit stupid. Parent reared owls don't want to know and can't be used for falconry. You start training an owl at 10 days old. Hand reared owls are very bad for breeding to.

[@rightwingreefer1449]

+Kaleb Mallet u do not use owls for hunting. Wild owls are good at hunting tho

[@Jaz_kinko]

1. Owls have amazing vision some of the best In the world. 2. Most owls are wild caught for the reasons that they become lap dogs when domesticated. Go look up falconry with owls on KZbin, many people use them.
