If a falconry raptor is lost, when can a falconer recapture it?

The correct answer is that a falconer can recapture a lost raptor at any time. This is in line with the principles of falconry practice and wildlife regulations. When a falcon is lost, it can be recaptured whenever the falconer is able to locate and retrieve the bird, which includes using training and calling techniques to encourage the raptor to return.

Other options suggest various limitations that don’t align with the regulations governing falconry. For instance, suggesting that recapturing is limited to hunting season doesn't account for the need to retrieve birds regardless of the time of year. Imposing a waiting period of 30 days may ignore the falconer's reliance on swift action in the case of a lost bird. Similarly, only being able to capture a raptor when it returns to its original location could prevent a falconer from exercising their duty to obediently track and retrieve the bird wherever it may roam.
