    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

    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.

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.
