Title: Falconry
Post by: Dugout DickStone on July 25, 2010, 02:46:28 PM: Got a thick leather glove for my bday but don't have the falcon(s) yet. Who all has done this? Would love some "get started" tips.

Hoping to get good enough so I can do a halftime show at a Cats non-con game then maybe appear on KSTATEO poster.

buy the biggest you can possibly afford. if you get a mini, you'll just want to upgrade in a month or two.

Post by: Dirty Sanchez on July 25, 2010, 03:35:52 PM: 1) get well known as a real falconer
2) agree to do halftime show at uk/KSU game
3) show up with chicken on court instead of falcon

Good point. I'm not scrimping on this purchase. Going first class. Plan on having some accessories for him too. vests, a monacle, necklace...etc.

Do not do this. Frisbees are extremly dangerous. I was playing Polish horsehoes(not racist) yesterday and got smoked in the eye with a frisbee. Sporting a kickass shiner today.

you just should have caught it. either that or moved or something.

lsoc- just teach your falcon to catch the frisbees and follow through with the original plan. do not listen to gooch.

great plan, he'll be the belle of the ball, no doubt. one more tip, put a weighted earing or something on the side of the head opposite the monocle. you don't want him flying in circles.

Was a blast. Hal is like our Joseph Smith/Moses, I wasn't going to miss this thing.

Orenthal (my falcon) and I made lots of new friends and a few bitter enemies. But that's always the case at these get togethers.

The red-tailed is one of the most trainable of all avian killing machines, and also readily available as you have already noticed. Grab one and get it on a ham diet asap.

A good buddy is picking up a redtail when trapping season open. Mostly for hunting rabbits. Really looking forward to when we can take pointed pheasants with one of his falcons.

These videos are amazing:
