Hunting Jack-Rabbits with Harris's Hawks in Utah: Falconry with Craig Boren 

The hawks have him trained really well.

I just love the way Harris’s hawks hurt together like a pack of wolves. This kill was a perfect example of it. The first bird missed and quickly turns around to see the second bird has already caught it. Just beautiful.

When money is secondary you will find lot of things in this world.

Does this guy realize he's a modern Jurassic Park raptor trainer?

Minkery and falconry are now my thing on RU-vid. The Mink Man is awesome.

Love the bird poop on your ball cap. Thumbs up

Congrats on finding something so unique. I’ve worked closely with dogs in my life. I can’t say I understand but I can appreciate the bond and effort required for such an awesome relationship.

Beautiful, so glad you're back and uploading. Please keep the videos coming!!

I am from south Texas and we have native Harris Hawks here and they are my favorite raptors.

I love this guy and his storytelling style and just how genuine he is. Thanks for the video and sharing your passion.

IT will never be a dream now because of my health But I always wanted to do this. Awesome video Sir

Rock and Roll!!! Love hunting in Utah, thanks for a great video from an 18yr Harris hawker in Nevada!

Rabbit: Hmmm what a beautiful day...zzzz ... ... Rabbit: OH NOES TWIN STEALTH BOMBERS HE-NNNGHHHHHH

Falconry is so bad ass what a great relationship between man and bird

One day I’ll get into falconry , I’m 21 years young not ready (financially) but I will be one day and I’ll want to be in the falconry hobby lifestyle!

This is so cool! What magnificent creatures. I absolutely loved watching and learning. Thank you for sharing!

A buddy of mine caught his first wild bird and trained it when he was 15 and has been hooked since. Before that his dad raised kangaroos. One of them beat me down with boxing gloves on when I was 14,the one ass kicking I'll never forget

I really really wanna appreciate the cameraman .awesome work man

I'm also getting my harris used to hunt from above the pole, this beautiful video inspired me and soon I'll publish one on my channel too.

Absolutely fascinating style of hunting with hawks. An austringer with no glove. Great stuff keep the videos coming.

Stunning footage and great interview. Looking forward to this being a regular thing

I have seen Redtails, and folks with Goshawks. First time to see a Falconer using Harris's. Thanks for sharing. I bet they love the mobile perch, that is really cool

Very well made video.. The editing, quality, audio all on point.

I never see before this method, with that stick. Very interesting!

Awesome Craig, thanks for the video.

Love those Harris Hawks. Such cooperative hunters;rare for a bird of prey.

Hey, he's my sponsor! Great falconer and great guy. Loved the video, kep em' coming!

That dripping white Harris Hawk mute on his ball cap, is just a "Slice Of Falconry." OSH :-)

Craig this is awesome! Been wanting to do this for years! Glad to see it can be done in our state! Thanks for showing what's possible.

Yay new upload! Hope to see more!!

Glad to see you back! Hopefully with more uploads, keep it up!

Love seeing lost art forms like this being brought back to life in its original form

Probably the most badass form of hunting!! Amazing!!

Really enjoyed your video. Watched it with one of my HHs on the fist and it was interesting to watch his reactions.

Beautiful, love the Falcons

I swear you guys do such a great job with your videos!

This is fricking cool man .love this video man ,make some more. first time seeing this

This has been a dream of mine since I saw it on tv years ago! Man this was great!

Truly liked the video thanks for sharing

Harris Hawks are naturally born to hunt in a pack or pairs. I see them all the time here in Arizona. Great video!!

This is pure awesome. Mans connection with animal for the hunt. 👍🏼

so cool to see someone from my home town!

I'd say you're doin' everything right, Craig Boren. Post production work on this clip was superb. Thanks for sharing.

Nicely done. I’ve flown HHS since 84. I had one of the first captive bred, and legal for purchase HHS. She kicked ass for many years

Amazing how those birds can spot the rabbit and even more amazing how they return to the pole!

keep making videos about falconry...we love them!!!

its amazing the vision of those birds

Wow. First time to watch this kind of video. Awesome. Keep it up.

Freaking Awesome. I want a Falcon.

This looks so cool. Reminds me of the book "My Side Of The Mountain" that I read so much growing up.

awesome love your videos and watching love raptors. Thanks for sharing from Florida take care

There is a chap that culls the seagulls that pester our local gaol, where my son works. He uses Harris hawks too.

Always wanted to enter into falconry, unfortunately.... I live in an environment that's not conducive to it. I can only live vicariously through you all, and that's okay too. Beautiful birds and great job!!❤ Sudbury, Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦✌️

And I was a kid and I'm so happy and excited I will become a Falconer

Ain’t this the damn life

That T perch is amazing!

Absolutely amazing. What gorgeous birds. I would love to do that.

Awesome vid brother keep um coming

Awesome! Well trained Hawkins.great!

I’m very impressed I knew that there was something unique and significant that I’d admire about hawks

You never get tired of falconry. Be it a falconer or an austringer, it's all great. I know how you feel. I first got into falconry in 1959 and through the years, sometimes not being able to keep a bird due to work responsibilities etc., that love never did venture far from me. Now I'm in a position that the necessary time can be invested in the sport to do it justice. I remember hunting redtails on rabbits out of a soar. That was rewarding in itself. The use of an elevated Tee perch as that you use is VERY useful, especially in the brushy areas you hunt. Would be a good method in some of the areas here in Arizona where I live. Really a good concept. I enjoyed watching your cast of Harris' smoke Jacks. That's ALWAYS rewarding! Good job! Keep up the good work!

Love the open terrain. One can see every move, twist and turn. Any grouse out there? Novel idea for a paint pole! The hawks know it's the best vantage point for hunting. Harris hawks are smart that way ; ).

Fantastic cast of Harris Hawks!!

I was playing golf and saw a hawk swoop down, grab a jack rabbit, flew about 200 feet in the air and just dropped it. Then it flew down and just starting feasting on it. Most amazing thing to see.

Fascinating technique with the pole. If I ever go out west I might try training my Redtails to do that. I have a big 50oz female who would be deadly on Jacks.

this has to be the most badass video i ever did see

Man those birds are in beautiful condition! I mean, of course they are because they are loved and fed and exercised etc, but such wonderful plumage! Gotta love flying killer dinos.

Very cool! looks like you get some exercise as well, chasing them around. lol

Fantastic that he encourages their natural instincts to hunt

How cool is that. Liked your video.

Very nice ! More video please.

This is very amazing,Not everyone would be have patience with birds,rising and training them..This is how hunters used to do very long time ago using birds,dogs or other type of animals...It is great thing when you living close to mountains or forest area,you can associate with those animals..Another thing when you living in large metropolis like LA or New York that is definitely out of questions...

I bet those hawks will be happy hunting their food

I love red tailed hawks we have this pair that lives in a large tree next to my ranch house and I watch them hunt rabbits all the time it's amazing

I have that some pole for my t-perch. I love it.

Love this

That looks like fun 🤩 id love to experience that , I’ve studied it for years but never actually raised a hawk for hunting yet tho , one day I’ll get er done ! Great vid, thx 🙏

Man .. this looks like a lot of fun.

Great birds and in lovely condition

Good job sir.

This looks fun and adventure

OMG... hunting with a pair of Harris's Hawks. That is just amazing. So cool... It's probably sinful. LOL

Cracking film, loved that. Cheers.

what a nice fun moments

Amazing!!!

Incredible 👍👍👍

Went hunting with Craig couple of months ago, man after 5 miles of this I was beat.

Amazing .

Cool!exciting!I feel like that I'm the falcon very eager to hunt.

Love it...loved hawking in Utah..in & around Vernal...such a shame N.A.F.A. Meets are no longer held there

Beautiful music it makes the birds seem more majestic and it has a free flowing feel to it.Very fitting anyone know the name.Great video dude keep it up

Cool looks great for a fun time

Wow good job Beautiful hawk

Awesome !

Very Cool!

This is a fine skill,to some a sport but to others a way of life and means of survival in some parts of the world. Being in touch with our primitive survival skills is very important to me.

Kool! Never seen that before

This is really cool.

That is awesome God bless you

Looks like the Hawks love it too. Dang efficient killers.
