Locate rabbit, squirrel, or game bird areas matching your species capability and local season.
Manage weight to hunting pitch — responsive but not weak; practice creance flights beforehand.
Pack lure, telemetry if used, knife, game bag, water, and GPS for long walks.
Release only when quarry sighted, maintain visual contact, and recall with lure before dark.
Bird at hunting weight shows keel sharp but not painfully so — experience calibrates over seasons.
Telemetry and immediate search protocol — notify local falconry community.
Do not hunt in high wind, extreme heat, or wet below freezing — bird health risk.
Wear blaze orange in shared hunting areas — communicate with gun hunters present.
