Just a video of training a Coops with jumpups. This shows a bird about a week into training. A week or so later we were out hunting but the action was to quick to get on video ;) Lost my cameraman too

  • It would be cool to have the video without the distraction of the music.

  • @BobFinger1337

    yeah but without a mic, and all different clips put together it sounds weird... try your volume knob...

  • Nice. Just found and filmed a Cooper and her nest with 2 large juveniles in the back yard. Man they can fly through the trees! If they were chipmunk hunters I'd like to rope-in and adopt one. Doubt that's legal here as they're not abandoned. Don't have the time or space to train either.

  • @TheLimbReaper

    I would love to see it. The coops around here have only 10-15 day old young all fluffy and just starting to grow feathers. I would love to see the footage. Usually they have 3-4/nest. You need to be a general class falconer to train and fly a coopers hawk. watching and filming can be just as fun. Can you see down into the nest from your yard?

  • Shes a beatiful bird. How much does she usually weigh on a hunting day.

  • @Kjredtail

    It has been A while but I think she was low 400's, males are 300ish

  • Awesome video, well put together! Happy hawking!

  • @Aaronsworlddotcom I'll upload ASAP.  Hectic long work days, cutting trees tomorrow. Will let you know when. Yes, we can see 2 from a slight ground elevation. Can barely see due to ivy & leaves. Thanks, TRL

  • Can you describe your manning process? When you said this was a week into training, was this a week after capture?

  • Nice little coopers and good training methods but I'm a little concerned that you have given out so much information to the general public. Don't want just anyone trying this without a permit you know.

    Any other vids of him hunting?
