A weekend of flying a Gyr/Pergrine Hybrid and Aplomado falcon at quarry in Oklahoma. The hybrid was flown on ducks and the Aplomado was flown at a duck and we tried to find quail for her, with little luck.

  • how much do these birds coast out of curiosity?

  • They are not cheap. Many falconry birds are legally trapped from the wild though. But one must have the proper permits first.

  • @rvz18 Great footage of your gyr/peregrine kickin' on ducks. It looks like a peale's cross. Do you always fly your Aplomado at bolt? Seems to be pretty effective at any rate. Are you going to the NAFA meet this year in Dodge City? If so, bet you'll do great there. Keep killin' them. I'm a Master falconer myself. Good to see your success.

  • @Prairie7777 That bird was a Peales cross. He met his end from an impact with a gadwall that ruptured his spleen. He was a damn good bird. Now I'm flying a Anatum cross that is shaping up pretty nice. Another year will tell how good he'll be.

    The aplo was flown by my friend Raul Ramirez of Washington. They usually are flown off the fist.

    No Nafa for me this year. Its my wife's turn for Thanksgiving break and it looks like we're visiting with the inlaws. Utah next year.

  • No, its a Gyrfalcon crossed with a Peregine

  • In one day how many time you can fly for hunt.

  • not bad 

  • good

  • Thanks for the return answer. Ya, I know how it is sometimes. You have to alott your time with other interests, i.e. family, work etc. But in the end it's all worth it. I'd like to make the NAFA meet this season but doesn't look like I will either. Anyways, it's going to be interesting to see how your new charge will be in the coming season. Also, that was really cool what you did with that little hen Kestrel. Very impressive. Take care and good hawking. Hope to talk to you soon.
