the hawks in my neighborhood follow my quads around anyway. I just fly back and forth, not too fast, and they seem to want to follow, I see them pass by after I've made my turns, it's fun. The vultures like the quads too.
I am curios about your Foxtech Hover 1 drone. Did you build the drone, or did you have it built? What's your opinion of this drone for this use? What kind of flight time are you getting and with what size battery? Thanks!
I've been using the kite and helium balloon method for years to get my jerkins in shape. I need to upgrade to the drone! When fit, a gyr can climb like nothing else. Love your videos. Not bad for an "old guy".
@@gradywright Yeah I know, I watched those videos. There was one out of 1986 I think that was pretty good, it showed a lot of falconers that I knew back then. But I'm sure he has a lot more older footage in his vault. OSH :-)
From the thumbnail I thought this guy looks familiar! Yep I was right, He's my parents neighbor. Same house I grew up in. I remember him having bald eagles -as pets- that were flightless. He kept them healthy and provided a quality life versus being put down. I just remember thinking how crazy it is he has bald eagles
Even Steve got driven out of Utah by development...and is reliant on a very unique and remote area. the trends in habitat loss and population decline have made it MUCH harder for new falconers to successfully enter the practice of flying a large falcon on wild game..
I have a rust belly eagle, he is two weeks old ... this week he has a hard time eating and the green is dirty and dirty is there any way to make him healthy again, friend please help
That drone technique would potentially work with a Caracara. Play to their natural proclivity to piracy. I'm honestly really surprised that nobody uses Caracaras for snakes and other small reptiles. Also, would Northern Harriers be any good? They're certainly impressive to watch hunt, and I wouldn't mind having a bird that specializes in small mammals. Would help clear out the fields. If only Osprey had a suitable temperament. I would love to go bass fishing with one. Oh to dream
matt R “good” for falconry is subjective, classic falconry is usually about upland game birds & rabbits and such, so for classic game, insectivorous & reptile dieting raptors are obviously not preferred.
@@FalconryTold I just mean for fun and utility. Kinda like a terrier vs a coonhound I guess. I was more referring to temperament and trainability. I'm not a falconer yet, so sorry if I'm being an annoying newb.
@@FalconryTold That's a great way of putting it! If you start broadening the definition of falconry to include any trained carnivorous bird, then falconry would include people who rehab vultures and corvids. If someone could get a Caracara to hunt upland game (highly unlikely) then it would be falconry in that instance, but it would not make Caracaras in general falconry birds. Am I correct?
matt R the Google definition of falconry works pretty well, the purpose of the sport is hunting. So that includes taking grasshoppers with a Kestrel, snakes with a RedShouldered Hawk, lizards and such with a Harrier, whatever. But classic falconry has not considered that falconry for thousands of years, as it is no longer very “sporting.” There’s not much of a pursuit/hunt when a hawk catches a snake, or a kestrel catches a beetle.
Philip Hernandez hunting, but as drone flying isn’t hunting, they get to run around after the falcons are done anyways; it’s good for them to exercise too.
Well done Steve all the respect for you

You have the best quality falconry videos on youtube. Very good channel and great content. Keep it up bro.
Falkon1986 thanks! Means a lot!

Mews is built take my test in January. Cant wait!

Steve's a legend out here in California. I wish he'd upload some footage of the old days of his falconry experiences. OSH :-)
old school hawking he might!
He has a TH-cam channel under his name

I’ve seen Steve fly his birds a few times at the Sky Trials. How cool you were able to talk with him. I’ve tried but always feel a bit “Star” struck.
Nice video
Thanks for this amazing nature 💕

I never thought an American takes falconry seriously. I'm just incredibly heart warmed
Excellent video, camera work, content, style, & music!!!
Amazing 👏
Very cool
Thanks a lot for this video ❤
I’ve a question ?! What kind of camera 📸 was used for filming this ?
Can I use this technology to hunt Falcons?
Great video
Jeff Smith thanks!
I love your bird with the heavily striped chest. That is a very special bird to me.

So coooooooool
Asphalt 8 Racer right?!
I have a rust belly eagle, he is two weeks old ... this week he has a hard time eating and the green is dirty and dirty is there any way to make him healthy again, friend please help

Sir ,Your all falcons are attractive especially I liked the second blackish one mostly.
Another great one, bro! I would love to see some of your hunting videos 😀😀😀

We’ve all had those same questions at some point and many have trained these birds, but yeah they’re not “falconry” birds that’s for sure.
