Red in Tooth and Claw [EXTINCT RP]

@Crab Bane Help please!

My first question is.. what information can I get about the "civilian" raptors, can you train them and if so... just for hunting?. I didn't want to go in a direction for it didn't exist in your world.

what is the raptors quarry, when "Mann on", what happens to the raptor?. Do the handlers use some form a raptor bells or some form of telemetry?

what animals are used to train them as prey?

Are civilians licensed with the federals as well are in current hawking today?

most raptors today fear dogs because they are competition ( other hunters), animals that have one eye on each side of the head are not a threat during "Manning" and easier to work with. Dogs and humans have two eyes in the front of their face, most birds fear this. These raptors are much bigger, faster and vicious.

do handler wear any special equipment, I use a long leather glove when "manning or working "step ups" with my birds. do we use "hoods" as we do in modern times?

If you can tell me what a handler would have, I would like to take a chance and hopefully write something that is well within your vision of the story.

Backstory: Grew up in the foothills of West Virginia, did the FFA and 4-H as he grew up, apprenticed as a butcher during high school, works at the classification yard at the trailhead. RJ trained with military as the program expanded, he was one of the first reservist to work with military-grade raptors, this is a big step up from handling the smaller civil types. RJ spent 6 years in the reserves and some months on special duty training (ADT) to work with these Raptors. RJ’s regular job is working with train stock as a railroad worker, the transportation of such dangerous creatures was left to the feds and like nukes, they are transported as freight, during the day, priority. RJ has been with NSF for 12 years now and in the reserves for 8. To this day he still works on his parent’s ranch out in the desert near NTC (National Training Center) Barstow, Ca. RJ was one of the few to get his license in the first run, so he now has some experiance working with civilian raptors at his parents ranch, which lead him into joining the militarty to learn more and work with bigger raptors.

Horse, two mules ( Jack and molly), so wold these raptors see them as food, well... humans are ALOT smaller... so yes. But during imprinting, dogs, horses, and mules could be seen like humans... to the birds we are just a tool. They don’t get mad like dogs. They are not affectionate, they hunt, procreate, and eat more, oh... have to make droppings a lot of that and depending on the bird, either straight down or horizontal.
