Oh the longing, the desire, the lust after falconry. Saeed, if any of us ever manage to get to Dubai, can you arrange a trip out to watch some of your friends fly their birds?

Gentlemen,

Most of these hunting pictures are taken by friends in other countries, not here in the UAE.

But, if any of you is around here during the training season, I will be happy to arrange for you to see them.

I do have some videos somewhere, I will have to find them and post them.

When I do I will post a link to them here.

My house backs onto a powerline right of way. Yesterday, there was a redtailed hawk sitting up on the cross braces of the high tension lines while a peregrine harrassed it. Glory! Here in the suburbs, a peregrine, b'gawd!

Saaed,

Those are very good looking birds!
You mentioned that the pictures were taken in other countrys, but that you do the training in Dubai (If I understood correctly). Why is that? Are there not many birds for you to hunt in Dubai? Is the variation of prey or something better abroad?

When training the Falcons, do you use captive bred pigions or quail, as we do with our young English Pointers when "teaching" them to point?

Me right now im looking at a redtail but when I get to the level that i can have something besides a RT or Kestrail I will be getting me a Goshawk which can basiclly do anything a redtail can and even go after DUCKS!!! which will be my main focus along with the Harris Hawk i wanna get ^_^. Would it be a hassle to Take one to another country Saeed?

Ninja,
I don't know how far out in the country you live, but if you are stuck in the suburbs and want to go duck hunting, as soon as you have your journeyman's license get a eyass Great Horned Owl and imprint it. Then when the hootie is grown and flying, you can take her down to the local golf courses after lights out and nab ducks out of the water hazards! Not to mention fat bunnies on the greens.
