[bfboobie]

fucking towelhead runs up and takes the gazelle as soon as the falcon takes it down... let the bird enjoy its kill for a minute

[uaesrt8]

no in the original vid they give it time to take some bites but thats how normally its u dont let the falcon get full till the end of the day

[samfrompakistan]

that was awsome!

[ArpadZ20]

People!

*The original poster gave info as "saker falcon"/cherrug.

(Possible source is Dubai web-site which he included.)

It could still be gyr-saker hybrid as several people said!

These even breed (and reproduce) naturally in the Altai.

*Sakers are favored by Arabs & currently endangered.

(Sad but true: 4,000 wild sakers yearly end up in Saudi

Arabia; 1,000 Qatar and 500-1,000 each Bahrain,

Kuwait and UAE/Dubai.) The sport is killing the sakers.

[MoDa87]

so not true, saudi still gets mostly wild birds but the numbers of wild birds taken into the other countries have droped to next to nothing. why fly a poxy saker if you can have a female g/p at 1300grams wild hacked that will fly down anything and costs next to nothing. in fact the market is flooded with captive breed falcons, no where else are falcons cheaper. have you been to the middeleast in the last years?

[MoDa87]

the saker population is in decline because the governments in these countries spray rodent kill that kills the hamsters and other agri pests, which results in a decline of the sakers because A. it reduces the quantety of prey avaidable and B. when the falcons eat the rodents that have been contaminated with the poisen it kills the birds.

[uaesrt8]

ITS A GYR PEREGRINE

[Alubre]

kinda cruel... has de gazelle any chance to scape from the hawk?

[PITBLUE78]

Fuck the gazelle!!!??? That's awesome!! I want to be a Falconer!!!!

[geoffers35]

Terrible camera work!! I feel sick now!!

[archer334]

how old do you have to be to own a red tailed hawk??? nice video btw!!

[AssassinGuru98]

You have to be 14 to become an apprentice where you can fly ethir an american Kestral or a Red-tailed Hawk

[slimeyb]

that is amazing. i've done a bit of falconry as a kid in Zim with goshawks. i knew about sakers and gyrs, which are the rolls royce of birds to hunt with, but to kill a gazelle - impressive!

[Gozz6]

not the right bird for the job at all!

you need a much bigger bird, not a falcon, some sort of eagle.

[Kopathy]

totaly agree .. .. there also some lazy gits all they do is drive try walking maybe some distance but put some effort into the sport . .. ill give a clap for the bird tho its taking out pray it shudnt be

[allyc2007]

Not true at all. Sakers have the drive to hunt, and seems like the bird took the gazelle without any trouble. Plus, unless you were on a good downhill slope and the wind was in your favor, an eagle would be nowhere near fast enough to catch that gazelle. Nothing wrong with a falcon for that kill

[02halit02]

yaw super yaw black gyrfalon thanks superrrrrrrrrrrrr

[haha3429]

in my opinion i think it's a gyr\peregrine

[lanetxgp1]

isnt this the way it would hunt in the wild. only afterward it has a comfortable home to go back to

[acidshadow1986]

dude wtf its been captive breed to hunt

[crowhawk]

It must take a great deal of fitness training & very precise weight management to achieve this under these conditions. Is she an Altai Saker?

[rewill17]

damn! bird!

[Balloonpilot1106]

That is one very fit bird. Impressive.

[nocoriouszo6]

Death to Allah!!

[WSPlumber]

id guess at a gyr saker falcon. But thats only a guess.

[benianbell]

from wot a could see it was huntin an oryx calf.

[porticomadman]

wot is it hunting

[ristho]

precioso

[ristho]

Es imprecionante y preciosoeste video .

[jayhayes2007]

dats ot a true saker falcon i think its more like a gryfacon ar peregrin falcon hybrid

[christopherlanier]

Good stuff but no way that's a pure Saker.

[kkmmkkmm2007]

يضحك علينا ابن مكتوم يحاسبنا أغبياء يصور مقطع الطير وهو يلحق الغزال وبعدين يوقفون التصوير ويرمون الغزال ويذكون الغزال وبعدين يشغل الكاميرا علشان الناس يحاسبون الطير هو الي ذبح الغزال اقول ألعب غيرها ياراشد

[nitroAhmed]

مش مهم ذبحه او لا, المهم صاده يا بو الشباب

[phoenix131078]

This is not a pure saker, it's a saker x gyr or maybe saker x gyr x peregrine. just look at the bird size and feathers' color, this is definively a hybrid. I hope some falconry aficionados could confirm or infirm this.

[nitroAhmed]

yes it is a gyr perigrine hybrid, i had a similar one

[nitroAhmed]

it is a gyr/peregrine. it is owned by the ruler of dubai.

[amgalanbator]

mongolian kazakhs' falson and golden eagles are the best hunters.

[giorgosdemetis]

pour video zoom. Do not view details of attack

[Hako2004]

I once hunted with my salukis, here in California, and a wild falcon came down and struck a hare the salukis were coursing. It looked like a prarie falcon or peregrine.....but dived at astounding speed. I've seen anything like this before....the falcons are so strong and persistant. I miss my salukis, they are a thing of beauty in full flight.

[bbashikhan]

Just one word.....AMAZING.......

[Kitty52]

Wow, you must of trained it so hard for it's great speed and strength. I'm going to save this video and vote it 5 star. Very good job. ^^

[Butch2760]

I'm very familiar with the magnificent raptors and yet watching this video has taught me that smaller falcons can tackle larger quarry. I believed that only the grand Golden Eagles or Steppe Eagles were the only raptors capable of taking down large quarry. Your video obviously dispells that belief. Your bird is magnificent. Assalamu Aleikum....

[playerofpuppets]

Because of these fools, wild saker populations are near to extinction. They catch these sakers from their nests and kill the parents. Because of these hunters, Turkey's saker population is now critically endangered like in all countries...Arabic people catch these in Turkey and sail them to these countries illegally. Actually there is no legal way to collect these from the wild...

[nitroAhmed]

fyi, this is not a saker falcon, it is a hybrid gyr/peregrine, and in america and europe are the biggest falcon breeders in the world, we just started breeding falcons not a long way back, nothing compared to what is being bread in america or europe. why do you blame it on the arabs?

[nitroAhmed]

incase you thought i was jumping out of the topic, in order to breed hybrids you must have pure blood falcons, which mostly are bought or caught from all around the world, especialy the gyr falcon which every breeder would kill to his hands on one of those and there are very few of them left. every year hundreds of wild falcons from the united arab emirates are being released back into the wild for the sake of the raise of the wild pure falcon's population if not maybe thousands.

[nitroAhmed]

we arabs are falcon lovers, so please dont make people think that we are as you say or as what you have heared

[milvipes]

What a way to distort the truth. Captive breeding, whether for hybrids or pure breds, lessen the demand for wild birds & provides a source of birds should the wild population crashes, yet you managed to portray it as exactly the opposite.

I've been working with captive-breeding projects since 2004, & nearly all our broodstocks are captive-bred (at least F2). The handful of wild birds we have are injured birds that can not be released.

[nitroAhmed]

i deal with breeders whom are american, german, british, scotish, and they all look for new wild gyr falcons every season or any other falcon. they do not just breed falcons that are kept in captivity because they cant be released, they mainly look for falcons especialy wild falcons for good blood and genes. i'm 25 and i've been a falconer all my life, breeding falcons for buisness is something else.

[milvipes]

Estas seriamente equivocado, mi compatriota ecuatoriano. Los halcons niegos capturados en sus nidos no sirven para nada excepto para reventarte los oidos con su incesante gritos.

[vomit365]

this ones bad, in a good way!

[xinguman]

dude ,, these look like baggies to me,, do you really know how to hunt ???????

[nitroAhmed]

i didn't quite understand what you said, but where you talking to me by any chance?

[nitroAhmed]

by the way, for a falcon to hunt groud prey is more difficult than flying prey coz there there is simply no air to lift the falcon when being close to ground, not like when chasing it's prey in mid air were it's flying superiority comes in it's advantage

[nitroAhmed]

i had a similar falcon but was american bread and have been hunting with it for eight years, largest catch so far was a 4kg male hubara bustard. it took like four ground fights and mid air fight until my falcon was able to restrict it's movement. hubara bustards especialy males do fight back and can sometimes win eventually win.

[Faris444]

This is a Gyr/Peregrine NOT a Saker ownd by Mohammad bin Rashed ruler of Dubai!! btw some sakers are known to hunt gazelles..

[thelonewolf40]

Wow! that is one awesome bird. Gyr/Saker cross I think. I would give my eye teeth for such a Falcon. Does anyone know how I could get this video in higher resolution? I would like to play it at my Falconry Club Meet.

[1STRAIGHTPAPER]

nice man nice

[warmitt]

That was freakin amazing

[slickwing]

Amazing video,amazing falcon.

[amauta5]

pretty cool how the bird hits them and resumes flight. he knows that the deer (the baby tetrapod)is not down so he goes back at him repeatly.

[yotsubakowai]

falconry is amazing!

[hpfalconry]

ino

[9595ld]

just goes to show brids of prey are very capable of taking big prey

[AdrianRT]

that's are balls, awesome falcon!, excelent hunt

[benj11i]

that wud b unreal to see

[yahyaislami]

that gazelle has nowhere to run to!

[Qassimax]

Salam, wake up apprentice dudes, that is not a pure Sinjari Saker, it is a Hybrid, GyrXSaker from Germany. Belongs of Al Maktoum of Dubai. Never was a pure bred saker but still a good bird. Not as powerfull as wild take.

Take ground quarry is easier than take Houbara, even if the size is bigger. Gazels fear birds and shut eyes when caught...

[reedinosaur]

the falcon has a hard-on for neck blood

[milvipes]

Only during the first year or two are the passage birds beter than chamber birds. After a few years of hard hunting, the chamber bird will catch up to the wild ones. In fact the larger size of the gyr x saker hybrid will MORE THAN offset whatever initial advatange wild birds had (wild sakers will NEVER have the speed & strength of a gyrfalcon).

BTW, I bred gyrs & gyr hybrids.

[jay13jay13]

up.... and smack. up... and smack. up.... and smack. that was perhaps the largest saker ever- milvipes i think maybe gyr in there?

[cloviss]

that's incredible!

[milvipes]

gyr x saker hybrid?

[LIAMNACUAC]

That saker had some ambition when she tried to PICK UP the spring bauk(?) and fly away!

[hollover]

5 star bird !!

[featherthing]

wow thats one bad ass falcon

[mikey123meself]

that is awsome. that antelope has got to be at least three times the weight of the saker. i have owned a sakerx gyr falcon but didnt realise its potential for ground quarry. excellent
