Hunting was first a necessity of life then became an occupation for the nobles and is now a sport and passion for many. <\/p>\n

What is the oldest method of hunting is well known. Not Falconry or Falconry, but Coursing, hunting with dogs, deserves this honor. However, on the European Continent, hunting with dogs on live animals is prohibited.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”40″][image_with_animation image_url=”7186″ alignment=”” animation=”Fade In” img_link_large=”yes” hover_animation=”none” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”small_depth” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text]And so the honor of the oldest, still practiced, hunt falls to Falconry. Where by Falconry is meant hunting with a trained bird of prey. <\/p>\n

Falconry is usually done with a Falcon or a Hawk. The “sport” consists mainly of the cooperation, after years of training, between man and animal. Especially since most Raptors are loners, this training is not to be underestimated. Only the Harrishawk that also hunts in group in the wild (like the dog’s ancestors) is somewhat easier to train for hunting.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”50″][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” overlay_strength=”0.3″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” text_align=”left”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” overlay_strength=”0.3″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”]
