News from the president of the MFA…This email is a follow up to the business
meeting held in August 2004 to inform 2004 ElectionI want to thank those who voted to keep
me as president of this club. I shall do my best to focus the club in making a difference in falconry in Questions asked the legal committeeKeith Thompson has been working with the Dept. of Conservation to clear up some gray areas related to falconry brought up at the business meeting Hunting with a dog while practicing falconry in
The question of whether or not a falconer can legally work a dog in the field if the falconer only has a falconry license. Keith has contacted Terry Roberson who heads up the protection at the department. Neither had thought about it before. Having looked at the strict reading of the code book they came to these conclusions: 1. To work a dog on game in the field, you need a hunting license. 2. A falconry license does not give you authority to work a dog in the field on game. 3. Therefore, if you have a dog in the field, whether or not you have a falconry license or not, you need a small game hunting license. It has been taken for granted for the past 30 years and assumed that if you had a falconry license, you had authority to utilize a dog. No one has ever challenged it. Under a strict reading of the regulations that may not be correct. We are in the process of getting now, a formal interpretation from the Department. If you have a dog in the field,
you need a small game hunting license Housing Harris’s hawks together It has come to the attention of the committee that falconers for socialization purposes are thinking of free lofting
Harris’s hawks together. Federal law CFR 21.28-29 state in part; Indoor mews shall be large enough to allow easy access for caring for the raptors housed in the facility. If more than
one raptor is to be kept in the mews, the raptors shall be tethered or separated by partitions and the area for each bird
shall be large enough to allow the bird to fully extend its wings. The law
prohibits keeping more than one falconry Harris’s free lofted in a chamber Information
