Falconry World

Here at long last is our first attempt to video the fitting of a Marshall radio telemetry trackpack. It was late on a summer evening and it was raining outside and the indoor lighting isn’t the best, but we did what we could and hopefully it will be a start.

Hope you find it useful.

In this next video we look at the two main options offered by Marshall radio receivers the 100 and the 1000. In the video I use the new 434 receiver 100 and 1000 digital telemetry receiver. As always if you have any comments or would like more information please contact via marshalldirect@gmail.com

It was understood that if I was late, it was the birds fault and not mine. Sometimes I’d take a slip at a crow in the morning other times at dinner. This could lead to some fairly lengthy lunch times. I eventaully had to give up working for others five days a week, as life is just to short not to hunt with birds of prey, everyday.

However, if you really need to do some falconry hunting and are in a full time job, here’s five tips for getting the most out of the falconry hunting season.
