Falconers!

I need to re-read it. I remember I got a good laugh about it when I was skimming the section on dove hunting. You could sit in a sunflower field with lawn chairs and a 24 pack and let the falcons do all the work.

haha, yeah that's pretty cool. I do love dove hunting. Partly due to the lazy aspect of it at times. I've walked a 1500 yard sunflower field for an entire day and wore myself out, and I've also fallen asleep in my chair with my shotgun in my hand several times. It is amazing though how the sound of a dove can take you from a dead sleep to firing a shotgun in a split second. Falcons would be awesome, but I still really like shooting stuff.

Not really all that different from dove hunting with a gun, is it? That's what I do. Sit in a sunflower field in a lawn chair, with a 24 pack. Dove fly, shoot. Sure, you go walk around every so often, but I do a lot more sitting and drinking than anything.

I usually throw on my snake boots and walk the fields when I dove hunt. Sometimes I let my dog scare them up and retrieve them, but she has a terrible habit of not wanting to give them up. I don't drink when I hunt though, that has always scared me.

I have set up some mojo doves and decoys to try and lure them in, but I get bored just sitting there and waiting.

there is a lot of time put into getting your falconry license, you have to find a sponser, catch a bird train it etc etc...
i actually looked into it cause i wanted to get an owl. there is a group here in texas that you can go to one of the events and watch. i'll pull up the link when i get home and post it

I do also, I like stalking birds and going out there to get them. However tying it all together with some lounging works for me.

Did you get any tips on a proper falcon punch?

One of the owners of a company I supported used to do that. He has 3-4 birds at his house, they live inside like normal pet birds.

He would bring one up to the office every now and then, and it would just hang out in his office. He said it a lot of work training them.

Yeah it just seems like too much work. But I would love to see it in action
