       i start with getting the bird used to me, being handled,
       touching in round its feet, then hooding, then getting him to
       hop from his perch to the lure for food, then increase the
       distance from his perch to the lure and then once he coming to
       me 50-60 yards i let them go free...

       Would they tackle deer?

       Golden eagles are used in the likes of Hungary etc for roe deer,
       falcons are for mainly winged prey, this wee boyo will be hunted
       at snipe or magpies might start him on magpies first, he won't
       be able to fly away with them the same as he would be able to
       with a snipe... Just to get him going, the. Switch to snipe
       later on..
