Tennessee Falconry Permit Practice Exam

Why are waterfowl difficult quarry?

They are dangerous to handle They swim poorly They are nocturnal They are strong fliers

Correct Answer:

They are strong fliers

Explanation:

Waterfowl are difficult quarry because they are strong fliers. Their powerful wings let them take off quickly from water, reach high speeds, and perform rapid, unpredictable maneuvers to evade a pursuing bird. They can sustain long flights and exploit wind currents to outrun and outmaneuver a falcon, which makes interception and successful stooping very challenging. This combination of speed, endurance, and evasive flight is what makes waterfowl notably tough to hunt with a raptor. They’re not particularly dangerous to handle, they swim well, and they’re typically diurnal rather than nocturnal, which doesn’t explain the difficulty in pursuit.
