RABBIT HUNTING WITHOUT A WEAPON?! TRULY INCREDIBLE HUNT- FALCONRY (Moose almost dies)

What happens when you leave the firearm at home and return to one of the oldest hunting traditions in the world? In this action-packed falconry hunt, I set out with one goal: legally harvest a full bag limit of cottontail rabbits using a trained goshawk — and nothing else. No gun. No modern shortcuts. Just raw instinct, teamwork, and an ancient predator-prey dynamic that predates firearms by centuries. Working the thick cover are two relentless mini dachshunds and a driven Sprocker Spaniel, flushing rabbits from brush piles and hedgerows. Every step through the field builds anticipation. Every explosive rabbit flush sends adrenaline through the roof. Waiting above and ready to strike is Moose, my wild-caught goshawk. In true goshawk hunting fashion, everything happens in seconds. A rabbit breaks. Wings fold. The chase is on. This traditional rabbit hunting method demands precision, timing, and trust between hunter, dog, and bird. It’s falconry at its purest — intense, ethical, and deeply rooted in hunting history. Will ancient hunting techniques still work in the modern world? Can we actually reach our legal bag limit of cottontails this way? From close calls to heart-pounding flights, this is rabbit hunting like you’ve never seen before. #falconry #dachshunds #goshawks #birdsofprey #huntingdogs #workingdogs #wildlife #nature
