What to do with this baby Hawk?

[YALE]

What?!? That's a stupid law.

You have to apprentice to a falconer, and then even if you finish your apprenticeship, and they decide you aren't good enough, they can blackball you from becoming a falconer. You also can't buy a falcon. You have to go out and catch one. It's a weird, arcane little world, full of weird people. In Europe, it's way easier. As long as you pass your apprenticeship, and meet the legal requirements, you can buy any damn bird you want.

Get a hawk call and try and lure one of the parents in.

This guy bought a falcon with his car insurance savings. Pretty sure he didn't apprentice...

Get it some water since it's thirsty, firstly.

Are you a falconer?!?! I've wanted to become one so I can hunt such an extended season.

It's a secret society, so he can neither confirm nor deny he is a member.

I've always been fascinated with these creatures. Looks like he should be able to fly soon?

[bigmuskie]

Is he a hawk wrangler or something?

I don't think so, but he and his family run a wild animal rehabilitation center. The repair work they did to an turtles shell was awesome.

Quick, someone check the law books, do hawks qualify for falconry hunting protection?

edit: fuck the law.

I looked into it, and it's beyond not worth it if you have any responsibilities whatsoever.

Most hunting falconers use red tailed hawks, if that's what you're asking.

I'd rather spend my time on a hunting dog over a falcon. But falcons are so damn cool. What a predicament. If I cut down his tail and beak do I have to file a form 1 for a SBR (short beaked raptor)?

That's ridiculous. You'd ruin the falcon.
