I know the feeling, I've got a few thousand arces to shoot on which has taken years and lots of effort to acquire. I've taken lads foxing or rabbiting, the next thing I know they are on my ground behind my back. It's small wonder they don't have land of their own.
It's not just falconry, shooting is exactly the same
its not about not wanting to help its about people using you ,had it happend so many times ,someone befriends you and cant do enough for you and your taking them out showing them as much as you can everytime ,going way out of your way for them to get birds or taking them
