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!
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. 👍
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
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
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
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.
@@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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
First time seeing this and wow wow wow.. hoe very impressive and how quickly the hawk picks up the bird for the kill. Real amazing seeing animals and humans work in harmony... Beautiful hawks being able to do what they are good at... Great job gentleman
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.
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.
It either has a really good relationship with its owner or they have leather straps around its feet like I’ve seen them do with golden eagles, either way the birds still let their owners take them, I think it’s more of a partnership rather than ownership, because if the bird wanted to it could just leave, but that one guy had his goshawk chipped, that’s why he had that metal antenna
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 👍👍👍👍
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.
Excuse me can I ask? What tracking device are you using? What is the name of its type of tracking device? Sorry my English is bad, because I am from Indonesia Thank you :)
Is the dog being used to flush? I'm very new to falconry but wondering why the birds are not kind of released to go and find their own prey/quarry and rather 'sent' towards it once its found? Or is it because they might capture something that is illegal to hunt?
I do not know anything about falconry but I do know quite a bit about pheasants. From what I have seen they fear raptors more than any man or dog and their primary defense is to stay hidden or run on the ground. They are poor flyers and will usually only fly as a last resort when a sensitive dog's nose has sniffed them out or a person nearly steps on them.
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!
I seen one of those guys birds try to take off before the bird even hit the air and the guy held him back. Should trust the animal at the level of training
Why cant u show a takedown? Do we need to get attonburgh a goshawk? Serious question now, how many pheasants get away, they hawks are impressive hunters

I love how you can tell the dogs are having the times of their lives just givin er in the bush
Such gorgeous, gorgeous landscape, like what you would find in a story book.

Not all Irish here by any means.
Nice to see that Hawking is alive and well in Ireland. The birds look great and lots of game taken in fine style.
It even PLUCKS the feathers for you.

Sounds like you got the countryside for it there too. Good luck, hope it works out.
@@williamoneill5498 yep we have at it for generations.
Canada has great countryside forest and animals 👌

3:50 birds like "let me go bro, I got this."
That type of hunting it's like art 🎨
These folks are real pros - I enjoy watching and appreciate their care and dedication to the goshawks!
Lol. 🛋🥔compliments
Stunning birds of prey just fantastic to watch, the hours of training must be phenomenal!
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.
excellent camerawork and good to see Goshawk on top form..

Beautiful! I've been reading "H is for Hawk" by Helen MacDonald, and this video gives me great insight into how goshawks hunt.
+Jacob Thomas Same here. Half way through it. Pretty amazing.
Same here.

Same here!! 1/3 of the way through it.
Currently doing the courses in the UK. Once passed exams will be looking to have my own female Finnish Goshawk
It's amazing how the dogs is running through thick brambles like its nothing, does it not get hurt?
Wow, its amazing how well they are trained and eager to work.
the falcons are pretty cool too
@@swamprat69 What falcon?
Y’all living the good life. Greetings from New Orleans 🎭
It looks like a lot of fun! The bird gets his fill too
Goshawk should have a little GoPro so we can see the kill.
Too small of a raptor
02:55 What a beauty of plumage.

Fantastic video thanks for sharing
These UA-cam algorithms are fucked. 7 years later, in 2020, this video this finds its way into my recommendations.
great video, fascinating stuff
3:48-3:52 it saw the bird early before it launched look for its head to lock on and tilt.
Got to love irish Fieldsports
This is an excellent sport. It's great to see hawks, humans and dogs working together. Everyone gets a meal.
This is so amazing! I want to be there doing this. Beautiful countryside, dogs, hunting...love it!
Yep falconry is one of the most unique sports in the world
That’s an amazing watch. How long did it take you to feel comfortable that the birds were ready to hunt with?
Never seen this activity before...stunningly beautiful
same here
@@roberts7961 qq
High class gentleman! Great job!!
Dakota u will call them bunch of pussyes
@@adictosalapescaex4887 they've found a way to do absolutely nothing and call it hunting.
Seriously the best hunting I've ever seen, I'd love to be there.
A superb day of sport! Wonderful dogs and hawks! Greeting from South Carolina.
Примечательно то , что сокол замечает добычу еще прежде, чем она взлетит 3:53.
Wicked cool!

That's absolutely magnificent ! What a beautiful way to spend outdoors.
Nice, I love hunting trips like you
I adore hawks

First time seeing this and wow wow wow.. hoe very impressive and how quickly the hawk picks up the bird for the kill.
Real amazing seeing animals and humans work in harmony...
Beautiful hawks being able to do what they are good at...

its cool to see the people working the dogs and birds to hunt, awesome!

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.
You can tell when the hawk sees the pheasant before the dog flushes it. He gets to take off before you release it.
Cool, I'll stick to my shotty/gsp combo though I think!
Thanks for the video.
Good video. I have always liked falconry or whatever it is called
Hunted most of my life and never like this. Pretty incredible!
Very interesting exciting and wonderful work that the pheasant bird is hunted falcon💥💥💥⚘🌹🥀
Saw this in North Yorkshire last year. VERY effective!
What a Beautiful Color Green!!!
I love the dogs . Nice dogs . Very obedient .
This is the real meaning of haunting with goshawk. Really good done, that video. Great!
Do goshawks exist in the wild in Ireland or are there only Sparrowhawks here
The video shows it to be very effective hunting, few misses. What's the percentage if catches vs misses in reality in such conditions/environment?
Beautiful I so wanna goto Ireland to do this love from Dubai
i wonder during these group hunts, how often are there problems with the BOP trying to attack each other, is that a thing?
Beautiful country,i am from Indonesia,i hope i can visit Ireland,
Awesome vidéo ,all goshawk are very acetive
Wow never seen this type of hunting before how does it work/prepare the hawk for it?
And why doesn't the hawk just take off since it's outside free.
you could call it a partner ship, something many of the human race is failing at doing so knowing that true meaning is rare.
Seriously, you've never heard of Falconry?
Blazing_Fox it's been trained it's whole life with people and it know when it's done good it's rewarded.
It either has a really good relationship with its owner or they have leather straps around its feet like I’ve seen them do with golden eagles, either way the birds still let their owners take them, I think it’s more of a partnership rather than ownership, because if the bird wanted to it could just leave, but that one guy had his goshawk chipped, that’s why he had that metal antenna

This is some aristocratic shit right here. “Hunting with a 12 gauge? 20 gauge today?” “Nah. Hawk.”
“And I thought buckshot was expensive!”
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.
I don't think you'd want to use buckshot on pheasants, lol.
Excuse me can I ask? What tracking device are you using? What is the name of its type of tracking device? Sorry my English is bad, because I am from Indonesia Thank you :)
Amazing birds.
Clean and class 👍🇨🇮
Stunning countryside.
Beautiful birds of prey
What was the purpose of the tail clip at 2:35
I’m going hunting. You have a hawk and a dog what you gonna hunt? Just watch and learn watch and learn. Loved this video!
i'm love hawks ! good video !
this is awsome an old tradition and custom.animals are better listeners than humans...
This is really interesting to watch why did he put a clip on the hawks tail?
Is the dog being used to flush?

Madam Zanzibar yes well train dogs can get to places maybe the bird cant or human cant
COULD ANYONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT TYPE OF DOG BREED?
Cocker spaniels, Springer spaniels.
Caça de alta classe cavalheiros, bom trabalho.
where can i get those baby falcons so that i can raise and train them also..do you guys know where?
Hair clip for tail guard...hmmm...might try a modified one...thanks!
One of the coolest things I’ve ever seen
Why the hair clip on the tail feathers after the kill? To stop it flying away?

Guess I'll stick to a Labrador because that pheasant gets torn up! Are they only eating the heads and sinew? Or are they ripping breast meat out?
+PhilJr Lol really though, there's not much left of the pheasant after those Gohawks get done.
Great video,but have you got to go to where the goshawk lands or does it bring the bird back to you?
They usually bring the bird, bottle of beer, telephone number for an attractive blond and say "there you go mate".
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!
beautiful country beautiful birds.
They're not even a native species though. All peasants are native to Asia.
darren barkham is a shame they doing that.

How do you legally obtain a goshawk?
I seen one of those guys birds try to take off before the bird even hit the air and the guy held him back. Should trust the animal at the level of training
I m like my friend 👍🏿👍🏿 very2 nice 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Ireland... beautiful...
are the birds just plucking the feathers are tearing at the meat
John Kendrick both
John Kendrick they pluck the feathers then eat the flesh
Why cant u show a takedown? Do we need to get attonburgh a goshawk? Serious question now, how many pheasants get away, they hawks are impressive hunters
Easy hunting, the bird(and the dog) does the job,what happened to the old type hunting.
Will an imprint his fly as well as a parent reared gos?
Micheal Charlwood Oh no not that old chestnut again!
cracking video i want to own a goshawk now...
That bird is so impressive!
How do you people train them
That Hawk saw that lheasant before the owner did.
Is there any meat left?
