:yes: I seen a eagle owl on a fox once and it wasn't very nice, My mate used to fly his birds with a bloke that kept golden eagles for fox and that was tremendous fun off the clips I seen

Are these "wolfs" wild caught and then turfed out in front of the birds or are they captive bred??

Obviously the majority of it is staged.. not knocking the birds or anything.. just curious....

Not staged at all IMHO, it takes years and years to train the birds and from studying Ghengis Khan, this has been going on for centuries. This is worth a read;

I bet that was a sight to behold..

The bird actually got the hare off the ground then let it go, or lost hold of it, and returned to the glove in a big sweeping turn without pausing! It was a terrific demonstration of sheer flying power.

I think the potential of the sea eagles is often overlooked. The bald eagle has certainly shown itself capable of very exciting flights. Hares have been taken with this species, as have ducks!

I can’t recall the exact details but many years ago I’m sure that Lorant de Bastyai and the great falconer George Lelovich, trained a white tailed sea eagle for film work in Hungry and had the bird take carp from a lake. I think the fish were carried to the to the bank.

In Memoirs of a Hunter, Friedrich Remmler recalls boyhood wolf hawking with Kazakh falconers. An extract here: http://business.virgin.net/fernhill.press/extract5.htm

My friend trained one, it was taking Koi up to 5kg, retrieved live to hand. He made an absolute fortune until someone shot it with a HW90 in .22.

Think about it, out in the middle of nowhere.. deepest Mongolia/ khazakstan.. and the camera man, with all his gear happens to be in the right place at the right time?? with the hapless mutt running straight at him?? luck or staged? like i say, not knocking the birds or anything, just wondered how they obtained the "wolves"...

Yeah I can see your point. As a way of life and hunting, Mongols do deffo use eagles but your right, for the camera and canned sport, it could easily be fixed like you say.
