In this falconry video I briefly discuss the pros and cons of using owls in falconry. I discuss what a falconer should do before acquiring and training an owl, and what is needed to have success hunting with an owl. I also explain why many falconers shy away from using owls.

Here are links to some of my other videos discussing owls:
