Yes, it's legal. And yes, it's a lot of paperwork and permits.

The why: There is something about hunting with another hunter, and one that flies. They are designed to do nothing but hunt. That resonates.
 
Very cool. We have a friend who used to be a falconer. One of his red-tails lived in my kitchen for a couple weeks while it recovered from a little surgery. It was on a Pedialite diet, and loved to fling the little Pedialite-filled syringes around the room. Good times...

Look forward to more pics 😁
 
For sure looking forward to learning more about the how's and why's of falconing.

Starting with the story of how you went about bringing Grinnell to live with you.
