Under what condition can a general or master falconer use a raptor taken under a federal depredation permit?

A general or master falconer can use a raptor taken under a federal depredation permit for falconry purposes except when dealing with an endangered species. The federal depredation permit allows for the control of raptors that cause damage to agriculture or property, and while it provides a legal avenue to take these birds, it also includes stipulations on their use. These stipulations prevent the use of endangered species in falconry due to their protected status. The key idea here is that as long as the raptor is not from an endangered population, the falconer is permitted to utilize the bird within the scope of falconry, which includes training, hunting activities, and participation in falconry-related events. This reflects a balance between wildlife management practices and the traditions of falconry, ensuring that conservation efforts for vulnerable species remain a priority while still allowing for the practice of falconry with more common raptor species.
