You can get captor and start training it in two weeks. It takes about two yrs for it to become fully loyal to you tho.

It would only be the most badass if you could train bald eagles. The most badass hobby is definitely the amateur stuntman or the guy that puts shit on his head for people to shoot off

so start your own thread about amateur stuntmen and then you and the other guy can go jerk each other off in there

if I ever win the lottery falconry is one of the things I would try to learn

I looked into this a couple years ago.
I never did it because you have to be an aprentice for 2 years until you can get your own hawk.

I had a student teacher who did this for years, he said it was a great experience and he really loved his bird.

golf, drink beer, ski (to a certain extent), card games is a given and most importantly lawn bowling. i just don't see the point in this maybe because i don't understand what the goal is.

its just like hunting except you spend time training a falcon and it becomes loyal to you then it will hunt prey like deer and you and prepare and eat the deer meat.those thngs you said are true but i personally find this cool. Drive my mercedes g wagon out to the desert and let my falcon hunt some animals while a smoke cigrs with some friends. cool thing for old ppl.

saw this demonstrated at a rennaisance fair, it was totally bad ass. Falcons are where it's at though, hawks are dumb. Falcons were used by royalty back in the day, hawks start eating the bird as soon as it's down degrading the meal you get.

i know these are boring right now but probably not when we are in our 70's and our bodies can't take much more and of course they have a point, they are sports the point is to win, but yea im starting to think falconry and hunting with your falcon would be pretty badass

Well... yeah it would be cool to have a hunting falcon i guess. I wouldn't ever bother getting a falcon and raising it to be loyal and hunt shit, but yeah, cool concept i suppose.
