10/27/2020 Red Tailed Hawk Catches HUGE Jack Rabbit! Astrid is on a roll! She is doing so well and this time she takes down a huge jack. Astrid is only 2 pounds and this jack was 5. What an incredible day!
Your videos are becoming "Must See" GOOD! Plus, your RedTail is learning at a rapid pace. Us viewers are already waiting for your next video. Congrats! OSH :-)
14:25 "She sees it. but she's hesitating, probably, because it's too far". Perhaps she didn't see it, because she was riding backwards on your perch? This thesis is proven, when she finally does see it, she nails it!
Very cool! She's a fine bird and it looks like you have done a good job with her training. I envy you the area you have to hunt in, not many rabbits in my neck of the woods and everything is private property. Look forward to more vids... Cheers from NorCal
Being a falconer is one thing I'm probably never going to be able to do, though I'd like to. I don't have the environment nor the time and money to do it properly. Astrid seems like a loyal and smart bird!
Love this. Well edited and sound quality is perfect. If you could make a video or respond to your camera setups that'd be cool! Well done. Honestly I've done some research and I can definitely tell Falconry will be in my future, currently residing in Ohio and not sure of how well it would be here, BUT I plan to move in the next couple of years anyways.
should get one of those belt holster with a deep pouch to hold the bottom of the pole then you would only need to use One hand to hold the upper part of the pole. making it more stable and less tiring
Youde think that's a good idea but I can actually keep it more steady if I just use my arms. It's really not that heavy and I got used to it within a couple weeks
Excellent piece of falconry and filming. What is her flying weight. With your scales it looked under 1kg. The retails we have access to in Scotland female fly around 2 lbs 10 oz think that’s around 1300 grams? Shall be following your channel 👍
How amazing is this?wow,HOT bird!!!!A glorious design by God to keep the vermin of this earth in check!!Boy,Australia could use lots of raptors for feral cats and rabbits for sure!! I admire the rapport between you and this great bird!
You should breed astrid then ypu could have a few more females or males to have to hubt so she doesnt have to hunt alone amd when they get old enough maybe u could let them go?
I woke up a couple days ago to a decapitated rabbit in my yard also the hawk is acting like that because she does not like having that lady carry her she doesn’t like being used to get girls to sleep with you
If the bird flies away, or is out of sight in the underbrush or the branches of a tree, the bell helps the falconer find it again (nowadays, however, they’re often fitted with radio transmitters as well).
Dude...I'm a big hunter, but raptors are some of nature's cruelest lifeforms...just sayin. And to think that us hunters get protested upon by the granolas....
I am so glad people can afford to go falconine. Meanwhile I never see a rabbit, pheasant, or partridge like the hundreds I saw and hunted as a kid. Now the loons in Michigan are all but gone. They were a really cool bird to watch dive for fish etc. Now they are gone too. Know why? The family farmers shot raptors and falcons to keep their chickens safe. Now the family farms are gone and city slickers want to play with hawks. They kill EVERYTHING they can. Personally, I would rather enjoy the occasional pheasant roast dinner melt in your mouth than watch a damn hawk or eagle kill off the bluebirds, etc. Sick, and if you think it's just nature, well I am part of nature too.
He's giving you the full experience... if you don't like these videos dont watch.. not every trip out is gonna provide a kill and he could've baited you into watching one of those videos.
@@richardjiles5032 I had to watch the full video to see what he was giving me. And I don't need you to tell me what to do next. I figured that out four months ago.
Omg! Video was sooo long of jus time wasting footage of sooo much humdrum boring video...the hawk catching the rabbit...that's it! The rest was terrible. Hate ppl do that.
