Thai Hawk Master Training school.


Today was the first day at the falconry school for Porno and myself.

Took Odin our hawk along. Bloke was fantastic. Got a great shop with all the equipment, gloves, leg tackle and perch's.

Got fully kitted out for just over 2000 baht. Blokes hand making all the leg stuff and Porno's taking Odin back Tuesday for fitting.

First lesson was how to handle,feed and generally take care of the bird. Really pleased that we basically got it right anyway. He's already eating on our hands.
Happy as well that we have somewhere to treat the bird should he ever get sick.

Most enjoyable.

After we had finished he gave us an example of how it should be done.

Jesus, the blokes got a massive African Hawk Eagle. Must be nearly 3 foot tall. Looks like a leopard. He's got like a show warehouse with mirrors in the sides. Had the eagle and two Raven like birds flying back and forth to his glove.

Big black market here as you would expect with birds of prey. This is where to get a serious hawk should you want one. Deffo not for the beginner. Bastards look like they could take your eye out.

Top hobby though and I'm glad Porno's into it as much as me.

Fishing tonight at Bungsumrang. I'll try and catch a whopper for a photo shoot.

Hunting with Hawk/Fishing and shagging sluts.

This is heaven for me.

you'll be buying a pair of green hunter wellies a chocolate labrador and a big range rover next then but know what you mean a couple of my mates have had hawks and been with them thery're an awsome sight and when they fly to hand its exhilerating i'm scared of any bird bigger than about 18" tall there just talons with muscle and wings and you can't tell what theyr'e thinking, but they put a lot of time into their birds and hunt with them, good luck mate and happy hunting
