The statement must include information about the time period for which the licensee will keep the raptors, and about what the licensee is allowed to do with the raptors. If the person caring for the raptors holds the appropriate level falconry license, the licensee caring for the raptors may fly the raptors in whatever way authorized, including hunting. This care of raptors may be extended indefinitely in extenuating circumstances, such as illness, military service, or a family emergency. The department may consider such instances on a case-by-case basis.2.
