Falconry Chronicles Podcast

This episode, we're revisiting the recording with Ken Hooke, who also agreed to do a segment for the Falconry Follies series. As many of you now know, per the announcement during this episode, as well as previous announcements, the decision has been made to discontinue the Extras Membership for extra content, so from here on out, the Falconry Follies series will be mixed in as a change of pace from time to time. For those who were members, those previous episodes will remain active via the link that was given and will remain exclusively available to you. I hope you have fun with this new installment in the Follies series before we start getting to more current content next week that was recorded recently with falconers from Kansas! Ken has some more pretty funny stories!

Shortly after writing his book, The Philosophy and Ethics of Falconry, Colten contacted me and introduced himself, asking if I could possibly give him feedback and point him in the direction of others who might also do so. After reading his book, I asked him if he might be willing to let me use him and his book in my first attempt at producing an audiobook, and towards the end of last falconry season earlier this year, we did just that! Colten came down to record over a weekend, and along with the audiobook, we recorded this episode, and did some hawking as well! If you want to get the audiobook for yourself, it can be found on Audible and most other audiobook platforms, and you can also obtain a physical copy through Amazon, Western Sporting, and Northwoods Falconry. Many thanks to him for coming down and being willing to record this project, as well as this episode!

Bill and Rich have been hawking buddies for a VERY long time. They share a lot of history together in this episode, including the roles they helped play in establishing dachshunds in hunting and falconry, what their falconry has been like all these years in the northern part of Indiana, and some of their favorite hunting memories together. Special thanks to Paul Thomas for helping bring this episode together, and for letting us borrow his RV at a dachshund field trial last summer to get this recorded. It was a fun one!

Ms. Francie is another falconer who's been requested by several folks over the past couple years, and she was another guest I was able to track down at the 2024 NAFA meet and finally get to record with! It was fun hearing her reminisce about a lot of fond memories in her many years in falconry, and hearing her talk about her fondness for helping the younger generations and newcomers to falconry was also inspiring. For those who know Francie, you know she's a fun conversation, but for those who've never met her, you're about to find out!

The guest for this episode has been requested many times over the years, and at the 2024 NAFA meet, I was able to carve out some time with Steve Layman in between hunting and workshops! Some of the things Steve and I discussed included research on aspergillosis treatment, his philosophy of falconry being a natural history sport more than even a hunting sport, and of course, some of the stories and experiences he has revolving around operant conditioning, some of which were quite amusing! This episode was a long time in the making, and I hope that it was worth the wait for those who requested it over the years!

This episode is another change of pace, remotely bringing you some falconry from Germany! Klaus and Elisabeth Leix join us to discuss what falconry is like for them in Germany, their experience with volunteering for the oldest German falconry club, which has existed for 100 years, hawking crows with falcons and goshawks, their preferred breeds of dogs to hunt with, and much more! This is a nice, lengthy episode that you're sure to get a lot out of, so enjoy!

After getting a hood from Ken for my Harris's hawk, I thought it would be good to have him on remotely to discuss hoodmaking, his history flying accipiters, longwings, and eagles, and what his falconry has looked like over the years living in Canada. Since this recording, he has since decided to retire from hoodmaking again, so if you haven't been able to get a hood from him, you might still be able to pick one up at mountainstatefalconrysupply.com. Don't sleep on it though, they're great hoods!  Support at buymeacoffee.com/falconrychroniclesSpecial thanks to the organizations and businesses who've kindly helped support the podcast!The Archives of Falconryhttp://www.falconry.orgMarshall Radio Telemetryhttp://www.marshallradio.comMasters of the Skieshttp://www.mastersoftheskies.orgBaba Yaga Craftshttp://www.instagram.com/babayagagoshawkNorth Mountain Goshawkshttp://www.northmountaingoshawks.comNew Mexico Falconers AssociationArizona Falconers Assocationhttp://www.arizonafalconers.comTexas Hawking Associationhttp://www.texashawking.orgNorth American Falconers Associationhttp://www.n-a-f-a.comFalconry Fundhttp://www.falconryfund.orgPursuit Falconry and Conservation Magazinehttp://pursuitfalconry.co.ukThe Specialist Falconhttp://www.thespecialistfalcon.comCape Falconry Clubhttp://www.capefalconry.co.zaEast Coast Falconshttp://www.eastcoastfalcons.comBlackhawk Falconry Dachshundshttps://www.facebook.com/blackhawkdachshunds

Revisiting this episode was a lot of fun, and getting the chance to record these types of conversations is a huge part of the reason why I continue doing this podcast. This was the second episode I recorded after a long, hot day of dachshund field trials, and instead of sitting down with these two friends separately, I decided to go ahead and have a group discussion and just go wherever it led us! We ended up talking about Rick and Rich's victories that weekend, Rick's ADHD attempt to convince Rich to start cast flying Harris's hawks on squirrels, what led Rich to start making equipment and get his own falconry business going, and other things our overheated, whiskey influenced brains decided to talk about!

While at some other dachshund field trials last year, I had a chance to record a couple of episodes with a few fellow falconers who I'd been trying to connect with for awhile, one of those being Mick Brown. Mick served as president of the Ohio Falconers Assocation for a long time, and is another falconer who has had to overcome a lot of physical wear and tear to continue in the sport. We talk about those things, as well as his thoughts on running Jack Russels before dachshunds, running his own falconry abatement and education businesses, and plenty of other good stuff!

Being as we have mutual friends in both falconry and the music business, I was very happy that our guest for this episode, Jen Keenan, agreed to join me remotely back in December and share her story so far. Jen is still very new in falconry, and is still learning a lot, and has had some very early challenges in her falconry career. In this episode, you'll get to hear more about her discovering falconry by hiring a falconer to do bird abatement for their vineyard, then deciding to get into it herself after her battle with cancer, the challenges of maintaining her falconry with all the businesses she runs and being married to a touring musician, and other things. This episode is proof that even though some might not have a ton of experience yet, everyone can learn a little something from everyone's experiences, so you won't want to miss it!

In August of 2024, I got another captive-bred Harris's hawk from this episode's guest, Austin Moates. While at his house, we spent the afternoon talking about his background hunting cottontails and squirrels with red-tailed hawks and Harris's hawks, some of his mentors in getting started with his breeding project, standards in falconry, his time serving in Tennessee's state falconry club, and more! He was also kind enough to take part in the Falconry Follies series, and that episode is now available to those who signed up previously for the Extras membership.  Support at buymeacoffee.com/falconrychroniclesSpecial thanks to the organizations and businesses who've kindly helped support the podcast!The Archives of Falconryhttp://www.falconry.orgMarshall Radio Telemetryhttp://www.marshallradio.comMasters of the Skieshttp://www.mastersoftheskies.orgBaba Yaga Craftshttp://www.instagram.com/babayagagoshawkNorth Mountain Goshawkshttp://www.northmountaingoshawks.comNew Mexico Falconers AssociationArizona Falconers Assocationhttp://www.arizonafalconers.comTexas Hawking Associationhttp://www.texashawking.orgNorth American Falconers Associationhttp://www.n-a-f-a.comFalconry Fundhttp://www.falconryfund.orgPursuit Falconry and Conservation Magazinehttp://pursuitfalconry.co.ukThe Specialist Falconhttp://www.thespecialistfalcon.comCape Falconry Clubhttp://www.capefalconry.co.zaEast Coast Falconshttp://www.eastcoastfalcons.comBlackhawk Falconry Dachshundshttps://www.facebook.com/blackhawkdachshunds

This was the last episode recorded in July of 2024 in Reno, NV, and it's another unique one! Martin Stiasny is originally from around Prague, in what is now Czechia. In this episode, he talks some about getting started in falconry around that area, what he had to go through in his journey to move to the United States, and what it was like learning raptor propagation from Dave Jamieson. There's other things discussed in this episode as well, but you'll just have to listen to hear the rest!

This episode is one of the last couple that were recorded July of 2024 in Reno, NV, and features James Tigan. James was a practicing falconer for 32 years, and while he was able to pursue falconry, he also founded the Alaska Raptor Rehabilitation Center, as well as other falconry businesses, including Tactical Avian Predators and Raptor Adventures.

Along with recording the episodes you just recently heard while at Ian Anderson's last July, there were also more episodes recorded while in Reno the same month. While meeting up and recording at Dave Jamieson's place, I was also able to record a few others, including Mark Moglich. Mark discussed his experiences over the years with breeding, his passion for flying goshawks, gyrfalcons, and another rarely flown species that you'll just have to listen to hear more about!

The last episode recorded while at Ian Anderson's place in Iowa features Minnesota resident Joe Hance. This was a very fun and animated conversation, in which we talk about hawking cottontails with a cast of Harris's hawks, some of his short prior experiences hunting with red-tailed hawks and goshawks, and getting Joe's take on different aspects and outlooks on falconry. Just a heads up, this is also another episode with some colorful language in it, but this fun and energetic conversation will be one that is sure to be enjoyed!

After getting to Ian Anderson's place last July, Tyler was one of the falconers who made the trip also that weekend to meet, and while there, he discussed his background in different aspects of dog training, hunting with Harris's hawks over his beagles, and some of the challenges in hunting where he's located. It was good getting a chance to talk falconry and dogs with someone else who has another breed preference, so there's some good stuff in here if hawking with dogs interests you!

While at Lance Christensen's, I was also able to get a recording in with accomplished falconer and veterinarian Ross Dirks. I'm glad he was there helping Lance to prep birds for shipping to their new owners, because this conversation was a blast to have! We talked about some of his different experiences as a veterinarian, flying falcons and goshawks, and lots of other great stuff before I headed back down to record more with Ian Anderson and other friends last July.

After getting a lure machine from Jeremiah, we started talking more back and forth about falconry, dachshunds, bowfishing, and other good stuff. Those conversations led to being able to meet up with him at a dachshund field trial close to where he lives in Pennsylvania, and while there, I managed to get my equipment set up outside long enough to record an episode and pick up where we left off! Overall, it turned out pretty well for a little bit of wind blowing, beagles barking in the background, and other audio challenges, but I hope you enjoy regardless!

During some downtime in between events at the Archives of Falconry 2024 Spring Rendezvous, Heath took some time to have another nice, long conversation about his time serving as Vice President of NAFA, flying accipiters, and learning what to listen to and not listen to when it comes to advice and perceptions in falconry, amongst other things.

Back in December of 2023, Kevin Stahler of Country Critters Kennels in Kentucky came to our annual Evansville field meet to hunt, run dachshunds, and record this episode in studio after the end of the festivities! We talk field meet experiences, the motivation to become a dachshund breeder, growing up around birds of prey, and other good stuff! This seemed like the right time to finally publish this episode after a break in dachshund episodes and other factors, and since I own two dogs that Kevin has bred, I'm happy to finally get this out to you all!

This episode is another nice and lengthy one, consisting of two different parts. The first part of the episode was recorded over a year ago when Tyler stopped through and recorded in studio on his way back home from St. Louis on a dog errand. At that time, we discussed what it's been like starting up multiple businesses, some of his experiences flying red-tailed hawks, kestrels, and a great-horned owl, and also what it was like starting into falconry at a young age. The second half was recorded after we got done hunting one day at this past NAFA meet in Liberal, KS, and he talks more about the aftermath of his first owl experiences, plus what it's been like flying his second great-horned owl. This episode has been long in the making, but it just made more sense to release it all together to bridge off of the experiences Tyler has had over the last year, especially with the owls. You can also hear more with Tyler in the February Falconry Follies Extras content as well! Enjoy!

This last episode that was recorded in Wyoming early 2024 brings you David Frank, resident of Sheridan and owner of Western Sporting. Many of you listening have probably ordered from Western Sporting before, and this episode will give you the chance to hear more about David and his history. In particular, David talks about his early experiences as an animal trainer, taking advantage of an opportunity to live and work in England and also hawk in Scotland, and of course, and many other things. David and Western Sporting have generously donated items to many state club raffles, including ours in Indiana, so if you've never given them any of your business, please consider heading to westernsporting.com next time you have any falconry supply or book needs!

For the second week in a row, another milestone has been achieved.... It's now been a year since rebranding and continuing on as Falconry Chronicles! It's been a challenge, but I'm happy that so many people have continued on the journey with me! Your support continues to mean the world, and I don't take it for granted! That being said, we're down to the last couple of episodes that were recorded in Wyoming early last year, and this episode features another good friend, Kyna Sturges. Having gotten to know Kyna and Vahe over the last few years, it's always great to pay them a visit when I'm in Wyoming, and I'm glad I got the chance to discuss things with Kyna in regards to her unique introduction into falconry. She gives insight into what it has been like being relatively new in the sport, while simultaneously being immersed into aspects of hawking and propagation that many falconers don't get to experience in their lives. Thanks again for a memorable year, and enjoy!  Sign up to support and/or receive extra content at buymeacoffee.com/falconrychroniclesSpecial thanks to the organizations and businesses who've kindly helped support the podcast!The Archives of Falconryhttp://www.falconry.orgMarshall Radio Telemetryhttp://www.marshallradio.comMasters of the Skieshttp://www.mastersoftheskies.orgBaba Yaga Craftshttp://www.instagram.com/babayagagoshawkNorth Mountain Goshawkshttp://www.northmountaingoshawks.comNew Mexico Falconers AssociationArizona Falconers Assocationhttp://www.arizonafalconers.comTexas Hawking Associationhttp://www.texashawking.orgNorth American Falconers Associationhttp://www.n-a-f-a.comFalconry Fundhttp://www.falconryfund.orgPursuit Falconry and Conservation Magazinehttp://pursuitfalconry.co.ukThe Specialist Falconhttp://www.thespecialistfalcon.comCape Falconry Clubhttp://www.capefalconry.co.zaEast Coast Falconshttp://www.eastcoastfalcons.comBlackhawk Falconry Dachshundshttps://www.facebook.com/blackhawkdachshunds

Here we are at yet another milestone with the podcast..... Episode 150! Thanks again for coming along for the ride! This 150th episode brings you another falconer who worked with the Peregrine Fund, which was instrumental in gaining him the knowledge to start his own propagation project with gyrfalcons. Dan Konkel has been producing birds for falconers around the world for many years, particularly in the Middle East, and is someone else with tons of collective knowledge. I hope you enjoy hearing about these things, plus a lot more, in this new milestone episode!

This first episode in 2025 continues on with another falconer who started back in the early days! Pete Widener talks about his long falconry career and love of peregrines, his early career choices and settling in Wyoming, where he's lived now for the better part of his life, and how and why he got into the propagation of peregrines. The great stories and experiences continue on into 2025, so thanks so much for continuing to listen!

Happy New Year everyone! We're gonna bring in the new year here with an episode that was recorded in Pinedale, and features John Dahlke. John has been very involved with sage grouse conservation over the years, which has also helped with his sage grouse hawking pursuits. John also has a gyrfalcon propagation project, and primarily flies gyrfalcons in his own falconry. We discuss these things, as well as some of his unique learning experiences under some early pioneers of falconry in the United States, so come hang out with us as our conversations with Wyoming falconers continue!

Continuing on in Wyoming, this episode was one of a handful recorded while in Sheridan. In this fun conversation with Pete Jenny, he talks about his time working with the Peregrine Fund, what it was like starting out in the early days of falconry in the US, traversing the country pursuing different falconry and schooling opportunities, and much more! This is another very fun and informative episode, and there's plenty more of that coming your way in the coming weeks!

These next handful of episodes are going to come at you from Wyoming! Due to various work circumstances that came up in early 2024, life took me back out to west work again, so I made the most of it while out there. As part of a productive jaunt through different parts of Wyoming on some off days, John Coffman had me out to his stomping grounds to talk about his longwing pursuits, ranch life, being a part of some work for the Peregrine Fund, and what falconry looked like for him traversing many states early in his tenure. This is the start of some more great content, and Jeff and Lauren Redig earned a lot of credit in helping to set many of these recordings up, so many thanks to them for helping make some of these happen! There's a lot of falconers with some great history and experience in Wyoming, so enjoy!

Having been a fan of Tucker Taylor's hoods for awhile before having a chance to talk to him, I was pretty excited about getting a chance to record with him on my way home from Wyoming earlier this year. While being kind enough to host me, he also was nice enough to talk about what his experience was like getting into falconry, flying red-tailed hawks and Cooper's hawks, his path to hoodmaking, and some of what he's learned during those times. If you're interested in hoodmaking, you should make it a priority to listen to his insights! Tucker makes a pretty darn good hood!

While working in Wyoming earlier this year, I was able to take a bit of time on some days off and visit friend and fellow Houndsman XP/Xtreme Performance Outdoor Network collaborator Chad Reynolds. Chad was able to take some time and record with me after one of his usual busy days at the ranch, and we talked dog/animal training, the rigours of growing a successful business, and what his falconry has looked like in the different parts of the country he's been in. There's a lot of great discussions in this lengthy episode, and it was great getting a chance to sit down in person to record this, see some of his dogs run, and get an idea of what a day in his life looks like!

The last episode recorded at the THA meet was with Spence Wise, a longtime falconer from Florida. It was fun talking to him about a lot of the changes he's had to adjust to during his many years of falconry, including having to adapt to habitat loss (and finding out that one of his favorite hunting areas used to be where my parents now live), transitioning to hunting with merlins, and beach trapping for merlins, amongst other topics.

This is the last of the episodes recorded at the THA meet earlier this year featuring falconers from Texas, and it's a fun one! Tony and Mel Lyons joined me to talk about their unique experiences getting introduced to the world of falconry, particularly in regards to their respective apprenticeships and the harder path they had to take during that time. We have some fun at this expense of our mutual friend Sheldon, who you all heard from earlier as a guest, and they also talked about their experiences flying falcons, Cooper's hawks, and other fun stuff!

We're down to the last few episodes that were recorded earlier this year at the Texas Hawking Assocation meet! In this episode, Nichole Moore sits down and discusses hawking with Harris's hawks, Cooper's hawks, and also what it's been like to pursue her career in zoology.

We're taking a short break from Texas and heading back briefly to Iowa! Earlier this July, I had a chance to meet up with Ian Anderson, and during that time, while kindly hosting me for a couple of days, we got a chance to sit down and talk about his experiences flying goshawks and some of the different lessons he's learned during his time in falconry. As an added bonus, we also got a chance to run our dachshunds while I was up there! Special thanks again to Ian for helping to coordinate the recordings with Lance Christensen, and a few others you haven't heard yet!

While at the THA meet, I was able to connect with long time falconer Don Roeber for another great episode! Don took some time out of one of his meet days to talk about his many years of falconry experience flying hawks, falcons, and even talks about his experience flying a falcon he rehabilitated at one point. Don has also sponsored some well-known falconers during his time in the sport, and we cover that some as well during our conversation!

We're heading back to Texas again for a bit! This episode brings you all Jay Lehmer, who took the time out of his schedule at the THA meet earlier this year to talk about some of the adversity he's had to overcome in recent years with health issues, and some of the help he's received from fellow members of the falconry community to help face those issues. His story is another very touching one, and is another great example of what the falconry community can do when it comes together to help each other out. He also talks about his favorite form of falconry, flying longwings, and other topics. This is another one of those conversations you'll want to hear if you want to instantly have a better day folks, so come join us!

The first time I had a chance to record with friend and guest for this episode, Jenni Buckley, was at the 2019 NAFA meet. Four years later, we caught up again at the 2023 NAFA meet and talked more about our dachshunds, Harris's hawks, environmental concerns, and other things. Jenni is also putting together the 2024 NAFA meet, and we plan to record another NAFA Hawk Talk episode soon to let people know more about the details for the upcoming meet. It's always fun getting a chance to catch up with Jenni, and can't wait to see her and other friends at the upcoming meet!

Our guest for this episode, Brett Rees, was one that I was happy to get a chance to record while at the Texas Hawking Assocation meet earlier this year. Being the creative mind behind the Devils of Dirthawking Club, I've been a big fan of Brett's work for awhile, and it was a pleasure getting a chance to talk to him more about his inspiration behind starting the club, his artwork, and his beginnings in falconry. If you want to pick up more of his merch, head to devilsofdirthawking.com.

This unique episode is one of several more that will be coming to you from earlier this year at the Texas Hawking Assocation meet! Jimmy and Kyle share their unique story of how they came to know each other personally and in falconry, and eventually become family. They also discuss experiences they've had as dirthawkers and also longwingers, and some of their more influential moments in falconry, both individually and together.

Shortly after landing in Dallas late last year to record the first of many episodes in Eastern TX, I made a stop to sit down and talk with the maker of fine shivs, Ryan Corlew. Many of you may have such a shiv from Shivalrous Designs, Ryan's company, and know how awesome they are, especially you squirrel hawkers out there! I'm a proud owner of one as well, and definitely put it to good use! Ryan also incorporates dachshunds into his falconry, and amongst other things, discusses some of the different things he's had to do to get his team of Harris's and dogs working together, and also some of his different experiences hunting and living in different parts of the country. There's going to be many more from Texas coming soon, as I continue to try and rollout the episodes recorded from earlier in the year from the Texas Hawking Association meet, so enjoy!

This is officially the last of the episodes that were recorded in New Jersey last summer for the ongoing episodes inspired by dachshunds in falconry! You'll still be hearing about dachshunds off and on for a little while, but as far as the falconers who use them in and around that area, this episode with Zack Bohn will be the last one featured from there for a bit. We of course cover other important topics in this episode, particularly Zack's background studying environmental sciences and working in parks and recreation for a town he resides in, and some of the issues he's had to deal with in that realm, like invasive feral cats wreaking havoc on the ecosystem.

We're back to Texas again for another episode that was recorded earlier this year at the Texas Hawking Assocation meet! Our guest for this episode, Matt Reidy, was also a guest speaker at said meet, and in between hunting and evening activities, sat down to talk about flying longwings (especially prairie falcons), his career as a biologist, and lots of other good stuff, including common themes in falconry that are always important to hear. You'll be hearing more out of a lot of other Texas falconers in the coming weeks, being as there's still a lot of episodes yet to be published from the THA meet, so have fun listening!

During the 2023 NAFA meet, I was able to catch up early one morning with Jason Reid, who I hadn't had a chance to see in a while. Aside from being there for his falconry equipment business, Hawkeye Falconry Supply, he was also there at the time helping to give informational clinics on eagle falconry. That being the case, I thought it would be good to have Jason on and talk more in depth about some of the aspects of eagle falconry that I haven't had a chance to previously cover on the podcast. On top of covering a lot of the details of what led Jason to relocate to Wyoming and take his falconry practice there, we cover more of the details of prepping to acquire a golden eagle, as well as more of what goes into eagle trapping. It was fun catching up with him, and hope you enjoy learning more about this process! If you want another good option for falconry gear and supplies, head to http://www.hawkeyefalconrysupply.com.

Well folks, this is the first official episode of the new Falconry Follies series, which will be available to Extras members from now on! As mentioned before, the inspiration of this series is so we can all learn from each other's mistakes, which everyone and their birds should hopefully benefit from. Listen in as Aaron Kincaid and Casey Everett, previous guests and hosts of the Sporting Chance podcast, join up remotely to talk about mistakes we've made in and out of the field. Being as the subject at hand can be both simultaneously frustrating and lighthearded, you'll hear some colorful language and content at times, but hey, it's all part of what we deal with, and hear, on a daily basis in falconry! If you want to see the fully unedited video version, head to the “Would You Like to Support?” link at falconrychronicles.com, and sign up for the Extras membership at buymeacoffee.com. You'll also get to hear the first full episode of the Molting Tails series, which will start off featuring rats... and those who hunt them! Thanks again so much for your ongoing support, which is the inspiration to keep all of this going!

This particular week of the Falconry Chronicles Podcast brings you multiple episodes, the first of which is a two part episode that features Aaron Kincaid of Gamekeeper Dachshunds, and of course, Sporting Chance podcast! The first part of this recording was made earlier this year during the New Jersey meet, where we met in person for the first time, and had the chance to be able to run our dogs together. After, we sat down that evening and talked about several of the usual topics, as well as ratting. We later recorded the second part of the episode while in Washington, DC, where we met to go ratting, as well as attempt to pair our dogs for breeding. That trip inspired the Molting Tails ratting content, which will be released as part of the Extras membership. This was a fun episode, and will be followed up later in the week with the first episode of the Falconry Follies series, which will continued to be offered via Extras membership after this first episode. That episode will feature both Aaron and Casey, and will be available later this week, so keep an eye out for it!

The Falconry Chronicles Podcast is very happy to be able to bring you this episode with Dave Jamieson! For those of you who aren't aware, Dave has a very long and noteworthy falconry history. Known mostly as one of the first people to successfully breed falcons using artificial insemination, as well as for producing some of the most accomplished genetic lines in falcon breeding throughout the years, Dave has produced a vast array of successful falconry and sky trial-winning falcons. Amongst those things, he also tells some wild stories involving some of his travels around the world, and we even discuss something that really hasn't been discussed much yet with any other guests on the podcast: his personal experiences during Operation Falcon! This episode is another important example of the mission of the podcast, and why such taxing measures are sometimes undergone to make sure these stories and experiences are preserved for the future!

The series of episodes inspired by the use of dachshunds in falconry that were recorded in New Jersey last year are almost concluded, with Harrison Dalby being one of the last from the Maryland/NJ area yet to be released. Since this recording took place, Harrison has had a full season under his belt with his goshawk and dachshund, and he has also added a lurcher to the team recently as well. In this conversation, he discusses falconry from a newer and younger falconer's perspective, what it's been like having his own business from an early age and how that has also affected his falconry, and how his mindset has pushed his personal goals higher over time. Thanks again to Casey Everett (now of the Sporting Chance podcast) for helping with getting everyone together for this series!

This was a more recently recorded episode, one of which that I'm very excited to bring to you all! While navigating a very busy work and travel schedule the whole month of July, thanks to the partial collaborative help of Ian Anderson, I found myself making the 11 hour trek to meet up with Lance Christensen and others to talk shop! I had heard a lot about Lance from mutual friends and other falconers who've gotten birds from him, but I was very much looking forward to going over some of the science behind breeding, discussing the reasoning and rationale behind the preference of parent-reared goshawks, and as always, Lance's beginnings in falconry, and other topics. Thanks again to Lance for taking the time out of his busy weekend trying to organize bird distribution logistics to have this conversation!  Special thanks to the organizations and businesses who've kindly helped support the podcast!The Archives of Falconryhttp://www.falconry.orgMarshall Radio Telemetryhttp://www.marshallradio.comMasters of the Skieshttp://www.mastersoftheskies.orgBaba Yaga Craftshttp://www.instagram.com/babayagagoshawkNorth Mountain Goshawkshttp://www.northmountaingoshawks.comNew Mexico Falconers AssociationArizona Falconers Assocationhttp://www.arizonafalconers.comTexas Hawking Associationhttp://www.texashawking.orgNorth American Falconers Associationhttp://www.n-a-f-a.comFalconry Fundhttp://www.falconryfund.orgPursuit Falconry and Conservation Magazinehttp://pursuitfalconry.co.ukThe Specialist Falconhttp://www.thespecialistfalcon.comCape Falconry Clubhttp://www.capefalconry.co.zaEast Coast Falconshttp://www.eastcoastfalcons.comBlackhawk Falconry Dachshundshttps://www.facebook.com/blackhawkdachshunds

While heading back out to work in Wyoming again for a few months earlier this year, I decided to make a pit stop to visit Tyler Sladen again. He had mentioned that he wished he'd had more of a chance to get more in depth about different aspects of quail hawking that we didn't talk about during our first recording, so I managed to meet up with him right before he filmed his video collaboration with Final Rise, and got more in depth with the topic. Speaking of the Final Rise video, if you haven't seen it yet, you should! Entitled “Montezuma and the Tankers”, it can be found on the Final Rise YouTube channel.  Special thanks to the organizations and businesses who've kindly helped support the podcast!The Archives of Falconryhttp://www.falconry.orgMarshall Radio Telemetryhttp://www.marshallradio.comMasters of the Skieshttp://www.mastersoftheskies.orgBaba Yaga Craftshttp://www.instagram.com/babayagagoshawkNorth Mountain Goshawkshttp://www.northmountaingoshawks.comNew Mexico Falconers AssociationArizona Falconers Assocationhttp://www.arizonafalconers.comTexas Hawking Associationhttp://www.texashawking.orgNorth American Falconers Associationhttp://www.n-a-f-a.comFalconry Fundhttp://www.falconryfund.orgPursuit Falconry and Conservation Magazinehttp://pursuitfalconry.co.ukThe Specialist Falconhttp://www.thespecialistfalcon.comCape Falconry Clubhttp://www.capefalconry.co.zaEast Coast Falconshttp://www.eastcoastfalcons.comBlackhawk Falconry Dachshundshttps://www.facebook.com/blackhawkdachshunds

This is the first of the episodes that you'll be hearing covering some more of the falconers from Wyoming! Thanks to the coordinated efforts of some friends, as well as our guest for this episode, Brian Mutch, there'll be some more pretty cool falconers coming your way soon! Speaking of our guest from this episode, Brian has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to falconry and raptors. Due to his work for the Peregrine Fund for many years, he's gotten to travel the world and work with many species, as well as practice falconry at a high level for himself for a long time. I can't do any of these stories justice by describing them, so you'll just have to listen for yourself!

This episode is one of the last few that was recorded while in the New York/New Jersey last summer, courtesy of Casey Everett and crew. As part of that ongoing series discussing falconry in that area, as well as dachshunds in falconry, Mike Oettinger discusses his experiences flying red-tailed hawks over the years, trapping, some of his experiences with apprentices, and of course, incorporating dachshunds in falconry! We have a handful of episodes left from the series meant to feature dachshunds, and a couple left from falconers in the NJ area, so for those of you who can't get enough, enjoy, and for those of you who've had enough, there will be plenty of other stories and experiences for you to take in in the meantime!
