I have a thread on here somewhere with lots of details, but in short, this is my first year as a falconer.

My bird hasn't been doing great, with just a couple of squirrels and a couple of "misc." to date. But finally today she spotted this big cottontail and ran him down from behind. I was beginning to think she didn't have it in her. She nearly catches stuff every time we go out, which is about 5 times a week. Hopefully she's catching on now.

Easy.

Read all about it. Contact your state club. Go tag along with someone a few times. Study, study, study. Beg someone to be your sponsor. Contact your state department of wildlife. Build a mews (hawk house) and weathering yard. Set up a test date. Study some more. Take the test. Have your facilities and equipment inspected. Wait for your permit. Trap a hawk. Train it. Go hunting. You'll be an apprentice for 2 years before getting your general license. Simple.

just don't let your hawk cross into my lease. Leash or no leash that will be one dead hawk.

Wait a damn minute.

Admittedly, I'm dumb when it comes to this. I just assumed they had people that bred them.

But you trap your own fricking hawk??????????

How the hell do you do this?

I'm a nice guy, but you'll find yourself in jail.
