Plans for my "Pet" Hawk
Vložit
- čas přidán 22. 08. 2024
- So I know the term "My pet hawk" is going to set some falconers off. I recognize the the fact that a Falconry bird should never be considered a pet, rather they are working animals. Treating my hawk Carol like a pet has led to her being a poor hunter and now i am trying to correct her behavior.

@@Maxx.Powell was waiting to hear if it was any good , Ive had some great meals in way worse looking places
@@Maxx.Powell If you just want a pet hawk just get a non native raptor they are perfectly legal. You don't need a falconry permit to own them
@@Maxx.PowellDo you still have Carol? I noticed that these videos were posted quite awhile ago. And I have loved watching your journey!
it's not a man purse. It's called a satchel. Indiana Jones wears one.
Jonathan Pencka dead😂💀 love that movie
Seems like a touchy subject for you... Almost like you've had a few negative experiences whole carrying your own man pur... Satchel
@@DownLow0099 wonder what they would say if someone else called them a fanny pack :D
Your failed hunting attempts are your best messages of being a falconer..........." It don't come easy "
RR Merlin seriously got my attention. I knew it wasn’t easy but puts a whole new spin on it Much respect to the People who participate.
Yep. Don't need people thinking it is easy
Your honesty and real concern for Carol's well-being is more educational and informative that a lot of people will give you credit for. I'm glad you're taking the time to try and work with her to be a hunting team, and glad I can live vicariously through your vlog - cheer your accomplishments and share in your disappointments. Please keep showing is Carol videos, even if it's only a little bit!
I'm glad you are not giving up falconry, it seems to be a dying sport. Keep at it.
Preparing for the exam and The people possibly sponsoring me don’t even want to waste their time until they are confident young blood will be able to handle all the mistakes and patience that falconry requires. It’s a life long commitment you need to be aware of before you even get into the sport. Which is why it’s so hard to get new falconers that will do more good than harm.
@@cryptolegend6803 Yeah get that regulatory burden makes things less common and more cumbersome....its almost like this thousand year old sport/hunting type didnt extinct all the birds.
I think it's important that you recognize what went wrong and are doing your best to correct it. A lot of people get into falconry for exactly the same reasons you did and run into exactly the same problems, and they end up abandoning their bird and dropping out of the sport because they get discouraged. Hopefully people will see this series and realize just how much work falconry is and what they are getting into and double down on their preparations before catching a bird. Birds of prey are not hunting dogs, you can't take them out a couple times a year and then treat them like pets when you get home. They require constant care and training, this is something that you need to treat more like a job than a hobby. I'm also glad to hear that your sponsor is getting more involved, I had started to get worried with how often you were saying he couldn't come out and help you. This is not something where you can wing it and learn as you go, you need someone with experience who can guide you through everything.
Absolutely agree with this response but have to admit I chuckled at the “wing it” part 😆
@@isaactaylor1833 He has that busy, American lifestyle, with all of the toys, and wife, and kids, and dogs, and... it is kind of amazing that he has done as well as he has, and it's encouraging that he is owning his mistakes.
I came for falconry and stayed for the rest. I've appreciated watching you learn how to handle Carol, and I'm glad you're not giving up. There is great strength in admitting mistakes, learning from them, and persevering past them. Keep showing what you want to show, and I'll keep watching.
I was having some similar first season problems with my new Red-tail Maverick. He was getting seriously discouraged after seeing little to no game, and missing on the rare occasion he went after something. We traveled to the state meet, flushed up an insane number of rabbits, and by the end of the trip, he had 3 in the bag. Sincerely hoping this boosts his confidence enough to go after the squirrels we have back at home. Falconry is tough, it requires a lot of time and dedication, and is largely just problem solving. Learning to discern what behaviors mean what and how your actions affect those. It's incredibly challenging, and not for the faint of heart.
Dude. I have watched every video of Carol. Thank you for inspiring me to look into falconry. Your trials and troubles and the amazing adventure you have been on. Thank you.
How's falconry going for you its been 10 months
Sucks people can’t deal with the fact it’s life and training a hawk is not a easy thing to do. I appreciate and I know others do with the honest raw footage you produce. Thanks max for the look into a world not many have experienced!
Bro show what you want. These comments should mean nothing. Your vlogging an showing parts of your life who are we to say what you should do with your life. More followers you get more haters there will be. Don't let them get to you.
100% agree!! Some people just want to be miserable and try to bring others down with them. They don't get the "self" in self esteem. Keep on keeping on, life's a garden dig it, you get the point...
Good stuff Max, love that your building her strength with exercises and live hunting 👍
Awesome to see you going forward with the sport despite all the negativity you’ve received. All good ideas about keeping it off camera so you can concentrate with your sponsor.
Loved seeing Carol defend herself from the dog. Cheered me right up.
oh man I love birds. They're so funny...when Carole decided the dog got just a little too close and flapped at him.
Falconry has mean girls. 😂 people need to just accept that you’re going to make mistakes because we are human. If they think they did it perfect the first time with no mistakes they probably are blinded by their ego.
I think you're head is in the right place Maxx. You've acknowledged your mistakes and you have a plan to improve moving forward. Ignore the advice given in the comments and listen to your sponsor like you mentioned in the video. He's there and we aren't, so he is going to be able to give much better advice than anyone on here. Keep working and I'm sure you'll see success.
What if a subscriber knows more about it than the sponsor?
@@KeepTheGates Then become a sponsor.
You cant give up, how am I supposed to live vicariously through you
Thank you thank you thank you for continuing rather than giving up on your falconry!!!
Hey, I'm SO glad you've decided to keep working with Carol and won't have to give her up. I can only imagine how disheartening it's been, but it sounds like you've gotten to the roots of the issues and have a game plan. I'll miss the more regular updates, but I'm really happy you're able to do what's best for both of you and get back on track with your training. Best of luck!
I'm glad you're staying the course with this wonderful sport. Your journey has been very educational.
Max been a follower of this channel for a while and I really love the content. You are such a honest and good guy and watching the failures is just as interesting as watching the successes. Just keep training carol and make her work more for her food. She is a natural hunter you just need to keep putting her by game. YOU GOT THIS!
“That’s why you don’t mess with Carol”....”Good girl, Carol” 😂
Hopefully everything will get on track and we can see some awesome hunting videos 🤘🏻
So happy to see that you are going to try and make it work with Carol! It takes a mature person to admit where they went wrong and it’s good to see you have solutions in mind to fix what happened! Carol is gonna be an epic hunting bird soon! Good luck Maxx
I am here for Carol, she is awesome and I love watching you are her grow together. You have the right to call her a pet, business partner, family member or friends.
Hey Max I love your falconry videos...I’m aspiring to be a falconer from New York. EVERY chance I get to be near a falconer to ask as many questions as I can to make sure I do right by my bird I can and I love your videos especially, because you give an in-depth look at the lifestyle of a falconer...I learned so much from your videos that all the questions I could ask would never answer...it’s like a virtual experience. I will say something one falconer told me that may help you...they said “to keep focus on treating your bird right you must remember your role as a falconer. Your role is to take a passage bird who has little chance of survival, help develop its skills, and release it to the wild to be able to help another passage make its way through the first year.” He did say you can always keep the bird but expressed treating it like a teacher treats their students...you get a group of kids and no matter how attached you get once you’ve given them the tools they need for the future you let them go and get a new group to help ;)
Lots of respect for digging deep and keeping going with her. Falconry isn't easy and it's a good idea to miss a few vids. You can do without the additional pressure of the negative comments.
Yeah, this has to be one of the coolest CZcams channels. Dude has a pet hawk. Unreal, new sub
He doesn’t have it anymore
Who gave the thumbs down??? IDENTIFY YOURSELF!!!
Okay.
It was I
Dude, Craigslist for quail man. You can get full size quail from 1 - 3 dollars per. I live near Redmond and I had no issue finding a local source. Being out in chehalis, it shouldn't be hard for you as well.
I use whole english sparrows to feed my hawk when it comes close to hunting day so she's right at weight. You can legally catch english sparrows in a trap has a falconer in WA.
Also, considering joining Western Falconer's associated just to meet fellow falconers in your area to go hawking with.
Try industrial parks for Squirrels.
Dude is a falconry disaster kinda funny
Gotta say, I almost envy your relationship with that hawk. We get redtail hawks up here in the Gr. Boston area, and while I know they're obviously not the biggest, fastest or most powerful raptor, but there is just something about a redtail that I am drawn to, unlike really any other raptor. I ultimately would love to raise a baby redtail, and train it for falconry, and just be able to interact or scratch the bird's head, or whatever. Closest redtail I've seen as a few years ago at my nephew's peewee football game, and a BIG redtail decided to fly in and attach itself on the side of a large tree, maybe 15 or so feet from ground. Once word got out that there was a big hawk near the ground, in a few minutes 25-30 people suddenly all gathered around it, just "ooohing" and generally marveling at the magificence/beauty of this hawk. It didn't show any fear, even stuck around for about 20 minutes. Then when it decided it was time to go, the hawk swooped off, and everyone gasped and marveled again lol.
I didn't get to finish my license because my Sponsor dropped me when posted selfies with the bird to Facebook. I was calling my bird back and instead of landing on my glove, It perched on my head and I thought it was cute so I took a picture.... My sponsor blew up at me!
jpfan1989 sounds like a lame sponsor.
Nothing worse that someone trying their best and feeling bad about it. I’m enjoying your falconry journey
your homestead is amazing
Where's the new Ram? Next video?
Best way to get your hawk to hunt, let her starve a day, the wild ones don't eat every day. They don't hunt here every day. I am going to start up my channel soon, of how the birds work, and give out calls in my hood. They even know what all the humans are doing. They can tell me what it's happening with my dog. They speak, I love that you are speaking about birds. I have a Jack Russell Terrier for chasing out if you need a dog and I'm in Toronto.
I love how she swoops so close to the ground before she lands on your hand, graceful and stealthy.
I love your videos . i love you journey. I am glad you are still in th game
Great to watch your journey. I'm getting a harris hawk this year in the UK although different laws here I have a very experienced falconer helping me 40 years of falconry. I recon you have done a great job and sometimes mistakes show you so much more than getting things right .keep up the good work Carol looks fantastic . Have a nice day from the UK
I hatch out 100 quail every 16 days... soon to be 200-600 Starting in June, Also will be doing custom orders. Most of mine go to a wildlife center near me. Just a thought. Their really easy to raise relatively cheep to feed.
Don't give up on Carol. This is why a lot of us tune into your videos. It's a herculean effort and even after all the mistakes we want to see you succeed.
Its been months since the last video, I hope all is well. We all would love to have a update on how Carol is doing.
Hey man just stumbled thru these vids this entire night... I think it's pretty fuckin rad you're doing this. As it is a legality type thing I think it should be taking with all seriousness.and your sponsor/(falcon master??lol)would know best and should never lead you astray....not these keyboard warriors. Fuck those haters. Keep your head up and treat/ respect her as you would yourself in everyday life. Like your workouts and saving lives ... You practically saved hers from the start. Keep up the work outs. Set goals for her. Expectations lead to disappointment....hope all is well and carols doing much better. Can't wait to see the progress. Remember your training. The basics. And that she's a bird who wants to survive. This is for YOU .not us and only YOU can master it.not us.Good luck ... I'm a nobody with my 2cents.thank you for this journey into your falconry. And saving lives
Carol is so beautiful. I loved seeing someone work with her in a personal way, not just catch hunt with them then release. You have a determination to see this through. Yeah maybe it would have went a little better if you focused more on her instead of the camera, but the haters need to relax, the bird is healthy and happy and 100% can still hunt.
The extra small quail are 1 day old, says it right on the web site lol
Like the honesty with your viewers, great channel.
I'm not a falconer, but from what I've seen of videos of falconers that have done it for a long time is that once you figure it out, and there's not just one strategy besides the basics of the sport itself, it becomes much less stressful. That comes because they've learned what to expect. I can see why being new to the sport and not knowing what to expect can be super confusing and uncomfortable because you are trying to do what's right for a bird that is your responsibility and not feeling like you are doing a good job.
IMO, I think Max needs to put in the time and effort with Carol. I'm glad that he's decided not to put up unsuccessful attempts. I think videos like this where he talks about what he's been doing while showing excerpts as a means of illustration is perfect to his goals of being honest about his path as an apprentice falconer. At the end of the day however, I think he needs to be prepared to let Carol go after the two year mark, and that will be his true test of being a falconer. Whether he can do that, and move on with a new bird. That will be the point where he becomes a true falconer. Eventually Max will have the option of keeping a life long working bird, but Carol is not that bird. Max's priority with Carol is to get her into adulthood (something that few redtails are able to do; I think I've heard that only about 10% make it) as a capable hawk that can thrive as a hunter.
This is the last video i can find about Carol. Do you have an update? Im so invested and need to know how everything panned out.
Those are some serious cool Pokémons you got there.
When will you upload another falconry vlog? I love Carol haha, been watching since you got her!
Great video. Thanks for the honesty and taking us along your learning experience
Thank you for keeping Carol Maxx. I love these videos
Check out pet stores for sizes. Or call and ask if they have size charts. The Body size is the important size. You can ask what approximate weight is as well. We have Reptiles and are working on Falconry license currently. We have a breeding colony of rodents that we use for feeding everything.,.. Cuts the cost exponentially.
Love your content, love your family! What about having a baby hawk and starting from there?
I believe in you bro!! 🙌🏻 btw nice hat
Hey man sometimes you’re just have to ride it out. The positivity will shine through
What happened to the Hawk video's!???
Hi Maxx, don't give up, you are so close!!! I think you might enjoy a great book called H is for Hawk by Helen McDonald...unfortunately her first hawk succumbed to aspergillosis, and she waited along time b4 getting another. there's a video on U tube called H is for hawk, the next chapter and it goes into great detail on what to do for success. She trained goshawks. Carol is one beautiful bird! I remember seeing a Red Tail perched on a wire, with a whole group of pigeons sitting underneath. It was like she was selecting who was going to be dinner. It seems they have a dialogue with who's going to die, so something right under her feet will be ignored, and something way over the other side of the field will be the prey because she needs something to chase! Good luck to you. I spend my time hunting with a camera...
Start an underground pet-hawk movement. Soon there will be hawks in the pet shops
Sorry your Falconry journey has been so rough. Carol is really lucky to have you. She didn't have to spend her first year hungry and wormy.
Why don't you consider raising your own quail?/ It's fun and would provide a nice LT supply of fresh/frozen meat. Also, raise some pigeons?? Carol should be hunting birds as well. Would make for some cool DIY videos. Gotta admire your perseverance!! Good luck!!
Show the failed hunts but turn off comments.
I'd agree, follow the sponsor's lead. Love seeing any/all vids with Carol. It's a shame you get the hate for honest effort (whether with/without mistakes). Glad to hear you aren't just tossing in the towel. I, for one, appreciate the peeks into the adventure... how you're doing the next phase of working with her, etc.
i like the failed hunts. It allows me (the viewer) to see the ups and downs of actual falconry. Just showing successful hunts... beats the purpose of learning from one another. Not everything will go as planned. Its nice to see you overcome the challenges and succeed. I understand that most falconers, want to give off the perfect perception, to entice people in. However, if they are not well prepared,.. that would be more detrimental. Thanks for all you do and have done! F the haters. They've been in the game way longer and are just upset,..it comes so naturally to some. :) dueces - you're sponsers pretty cool though :)
Falconry videos "please Sir i want some more!"
Stooopid asss
@@garnalneztomad5569 why?
Good education video
10:09 poor doggy lol
This is beyond cool ❤
I just sold my Tacoma and got an f250 four door short bed 4x4 best thing I ever did.
I wish I found your channel while you were still doing Falconry
Much better channels out there for falconry. He unfortunately was never successful.
This vid made me subscribe looking forward for more
This blog has been so valuable thanks for this journal on your way to falconry, I have always wanted to this!
You should try that you don’t give her food for over a day and dann go hunting with her she will come back because of the food and she will try to catch a rabbit because she is hungry try that 👍
I’ll tell you what your problem is, you have too many hobbies, not enough time for falconry.
Jesse Ryan That’s exactly what I was thinking.
Correct.
subscribed for the falconry. Thank you for sharing the experience.
I'd say your best option for hawk food would be to raise the quail yourself. They're fairly inexpensive and easy to keep, and if you get enough to start, the quail will keep breeding and you'll have a nearly unlimited stock of hawk snacks.
wow great video is there going to be more? :D
I’m so glad you are keeping Carol !!!
Thanks for the Carol update Maxx. Medium size rat.....? That was a small mouse!!! Lol. 👍👍🐦
Also the bird u seen in the tree was a hawk but it could’ve been a red tailed or a different hawk
Max: Workout🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
My Brain: ripped Carol
Holy shit I thought kids were hard to raise. I have a red tail in my holler. No really we live in a holler. With 20k cars in the middle hwy. He sits on the lines accross...the holler. 150 yards away. The cars are loud and cause a buffer so the bird can use sight
Bro if you want frozen rats visit ANY reptile shop, or reptile frozen food online seller, you’ll get a much better deal.
This episode was an emotional rollercoaster. Keep doing what you're doing & don't listen to the haters.
But its not bad to have a hawk as a pet now I kinda want one as both a hunting ally and a pet
It's a lot of fun!🦅
Do what you have to I just love watching what you put out and the birds Progress as well as yours I would love to be a falconer myself one day
Skagit county falconer here. Thank you for making this video. I honestly have a lot more respect for you now. Hunting cottontails with red tails is something I know like the back of my hand and I would love to help you get rabbits under her if you’re interested. You usually won’t see the rabbit until the bird is literally on it. Here in western WA we rely on the bird telling us where the rabbits are and crashing brush to get to them. I have a made rabbit dog as well. You can get in touch with me through my old sponsor Geoff H. who is friends with your sponsor, or on Facebook, name Caitlyn Anne. Best of luck getting on track with the true purpose of falconry, it is truly an experience like no other. You’ll be addicted.
Gotta say, I'm also interested in what the wife has going on. I can see she enjoys your sports & hobbies, but I want to see her hobbies, too. :) But only because she mentioned cattle in the episode with the new house!
With that barn and the room you have to store food and weigh your Hawk, maybe set up a mouse/rat rodent breeding station(s) (its low cost to maintain). You probably only need one or two sets of breeding pairs and it should be adequate to sustain your hawk with that particular diet source.
You don't need to look at is so coldly. She can be both a pet and an excellent working animal. Why not.
She's trained to you her handler, and she's not trained on that bird watching her as a potential mating process. That other bird looks like a potential other male looking for love. If you have potential nesting territory and a loose male hawk sees it, they are going to find Carol. They will court her. You will see, as you exercise your hawk during mating season.
Admit it you just wanted a Pet Raptor
The reason I wont become a falconer is exactly because I would coddle my bird instead of being about hunting. This is why I have parrots instead of raptors.
You are doing good work with Carol
The reason you want to be a falconer is the perfect reason why you shouldn’t be a falconer. They are not cuddly animals and hunting is required in order to have the license.
I'm proud of you for sticking with it my dude! You've learned so much, and you're growing as a person through all this. Fuck the haters, and fuck you haters. Let the dude learn on his own! Humans in general and men, in particular, learn through trial and error and experience. Keep going man, stay patient, stay humble, stay teachable. Thanks for sharing your experiences failures and all. God Bless :)
Ive only just watched your series and would love to know how it ended, I can only see "Plans for my pet hawk Video, were there any after? What happened to Carol?
Looks like you got a little bit of a workout going up and down that ladder to. Glad you didn't give up.
Appreciate the honesty brother! Keep at it and get some work done. :) Thumbs up
Don't be upset by the comments, if people don't like your failed hunts then they shouldn't watch the video. You're motivated to make it work, people aren't perfect and neither are birds. Love the videos.
