Take from the wild.

(1) A falconer must report take of a raptor from the wild no later than ten days after the capture of the raptor.

(2) A falconer may take no more than two raptors from the wild each year to use in falconry.

(3) The number of wild-caught or captive-bred raptors transferred is not restricted, but a falconer may not exceed the possession limit of his/her class of falconry.

(4) A falconer may recapture a falconry raptor that he/she lost at any time. The recapture will not be considered a new take of a wild raptor.

(5) If a falconer transfers a raptor taken from the wild to another permittee in the same year in which it is captured, the raptor will count as one of the raptors the falconer is allowed to take from the wild that year. It will not count as a capture by the recipient, though it will always be considered a wild raptor.
