Thanks for getting back to me, still working on mews/weather area and still studying, I had a red shouldered hawk shot off power pole practically in my front yard, authorities where called game warden gave permission for me to pick up bird and bag it since he couldn’t come until next morning and I did not get a tag # , all to say I did not think of this side of it, so any encouragement I could use, by the way we rabbit hunted with hawks hunting around us never crossed our minds to shoot one. All I could tell game warden was he was young he was white so was the shiny new truck they drove. I researched last Mississippi case ,2018 man charged with trapping and killing of hawks, $50,000 fine loss of hunting rights. Thanks again
Yeah it's against the law to shoot them depending where you live. I never understand why people would shoot them. Good luck with your future hawking adventures
I am studying for the us falconry exam and want to get a red tail as my first bird as I have heard that they are easier to create for then American kestrels. Also I have been talking a mach falconry and on my most recent time of taking it I got 99% just missed one question. Edit: Thank you for this video it will be very helpful
This is a great video I like to see different techniques on Manning. Every sponsor has his own way of teaching and every Falconer should learn more than one technique . There are several different ways , every apprentice should enhance his knowledge and find what works best. Birds are different going through the process, so what works for one Bird may not work for another. It’s a great video. I just curious to average amount you feed it for the first few days, I find that a smaller amount works better for me. I find that a lot of apprentices use the first person that says they will sponsor them in my opinion you should talk to as many sponsors as possible and choose the one that works best with your personality . Personalities are different some clash. I had a great sponsor, but I’ve been around a lot of falconers that I could not have apprenticed under , just personality differences if you’re thinking about becoming a falconer go for it it takes time but it is definitely worth it
I typically feed around 25-50% of normal daily amounts for the first few days but it all depends on the bird when I get it. I.e if it's sharp than I would feed it 100% amount from the start.
Interesting. I haven’t seen anyone start the feeding in the hawk box. I’m starting to get ready to catch my first red tail. How much time do you spend at each training session? My sponsor advocates that immediately upon capture a bird should be taken to a dark room and go straight to attempting to feed off the glove, even if it takes hours to get her to take the first piece. Im obviously following his direction, but also interested in getting ideas from others.
When I trained with the giant hood method I would spend about 15mins with the RT and if it didn't take the food I would wait until the next day. Fyi, knowing the birds "sharpness" is a factor on how long until I want to make she they eat. Usually by day 2 they will start taking from the glove. I also did the manning on the glove method in another set of videos. Feel free to check them out and thanks for watching. Good luck with your first RT
I’m studying for apprenticeship license in Ms. I’ve been a hunter all my life, rabbit dogs and squirrel dogs is what I hunted however I’m now 63 years old and have become interested in falconry since my dogs have passed, I buried my squirrel dog in spring of 2021 he was 17 years old and do not feel I have another 17 years to dedicate to another animal but am a retired bachelor with time my greatest asset now. I watched you work your bird in the dark for first few days and while I’ve never seen this method it seemed to work better than days on the perch waiting for bird to come to fist. I’m in open country here and have red-tails in my yard daily this is the bird I wish to hunt. The dark mews seems to calm things down and the bird hopped to fist it seemed quicker than other methods. Am I right? Would like to know where your methods came from, your sponsor/or from other hunters/friends etc? I’m three years behind your videos so I realize I might be out of luck but I’m gonna spend 2024 studying and maybe take exam this fall. Thanks
Sorry it took so long for me to reply and sorry to hear about your dog 😧. I have tried a few different methods for manning red tailed hawks and yes I found that in the dark seemed to move along the quickest. Now that being said I'm not sure if it was just a bird who got it quicker or if the dark made the difference. I haven't trained enough to say one way works better than the other. Also, my last manning with a red tailed hawk was on the glove and was by far the fasted I've trained but I think it was low in weight and very keen to train. The "in the dark" method I was taught by my sponsor and the other methods I've learned from other falconers. Good luck with your exam and I hope you enjoy falconry as much as I do. Thx for watching
UA-cam is glitchy on this video. It keeps freezing. Other youtube videos don't. I really wanted to watch this one too. I got to the part where you fed it in the dark.
Cool Birds Of Prey 🤩🥶🔥💯
Thanks, I love working with them
@ 😎👍🏻
Very informative. Looking forward to see more!
Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed it

How many days this traning
It took 18 Days from trapping to first hunt
He loves you🎉
How does it know to go back to the perch from the glove
They are super smart. Once they realize that going to the perch allows them to fly to the glove quicker to get more food. 🙂

@@ACRfalconry thanks. Hoping to start trapping soon. Lots to learn!
It's so much fun. Enjoy

Did you hood train him and if so how long did that take?
It takes awhile but I would just do it a few times a day. Easier to train them at the start when they aren't paying as much attention to it
HOW long from catching him until you take him out on a leashline?
About a week
Interesting

That's weird it seems fine on my end
Doing good😊
