We RAISED a baby HAWK for HUNTING… It ended BADLY

In this video, my son and I take on the incredible challenge of raising and training a young male goshawk for falconry — from a tiny fluff ball to a full-blown hunting hawk. Alongside us every step of the way is Ginger, our long-haired miniature dachshund, helping flush rabbits, squirrels, and even woodcock as we attempt to turn this young predator into a true hunting partner. Falconry is one of the oldest hunting traditions in the world, but it’s also one of the most unforgiving. These birds may hunt beside us, trust us, and rely on us… but they still live under the same laws of nature as every wild raptor. This journey gave my son and I memories we’ll carry forever — the successes, the failures, the chaos, and ultimately, the heartbreak. This is the story of raising Tiercel.
