    What a woman! Baby on her back , camera in one hand, falcon on the other, walking in clumpy terrains and up and down hills and bringing back the kill!!
    Amazing! Kudos to you!!!

    I'm glad your walk out wasn't in vain, Amy. Venom may not like rabbit, but he certainly earned his food by catching one for Fable. Thank you for showing how you put the rabbit to use - it's good to show folks who might not know that hunting isn't just blood lust and has a real purpose.

  • @raklibra
    @raklibra 3 года назад +26

    Ahh, the natural way of hunting… before gunpowder. Falconry is older than guns. Plus you don’t have to worry about cleaning the shot from the kill. You only have to be fast enough to separate the raptor from it’s kill to get a pristine lunch. Not forgetting to have separate feed for the hawk. I once had lunch from falcon caught game. The catch was pristine.

    Thanks a lot Amy for posting these videos of Venom hawking, they bring good memories back. He's such a superb, intelligent bird! He learned to hover like a kestrel just above you in very windy days on top of a hill just for a chick leg.
    I'm glad that you fly him in the same way/style as Phil did, trusting him to do his job; and that he's got so much quarry to go at in your new home. A heartfelt thank you.

    Perfect video, thank you very much.
    Three months ago we got 2 years old HH, who had never hunted before. He also never flew with wind speed faster than 15mph!
    We trained him to recognise the prey (rabbit) and fly stronger winds- it is unbelievable how fast they are learning.
    As we have a permit on a Golf Course where there are not too many trees, we trained him to hunt from the glove, which is not very effective. Now we will train him (already started) in the way you showed in this video. Thank you subscribed. PS I would eat the rabbit myself. We recognise them as a delicacy in our culture🙂.
