Falconry Chronicles Podcast ·

2025/09/16

This is one of a couple of fun husband and wife falconry episodes recorded in Oklahoma. These are always fun to do, since each has had their own dynamics and perspectives to bring to the table, and it was a lot of fun hearing Phil and Gayla's! Multiple toasts were had during this episode with the wine that they brought, and we discussed some pretty crazy things they've had to deal with in falconry, and their relationship in general. Hopefully you'll get something out of hearing about their falconry

2025/09/02

This episode kicks off several episodes that were recorded while in Oklahoma for a weekend back in July. Our guest for this episode, Rob Rainey, helped get everyone lined up for these recordings, and was also kind enough to host me for the weekend while I was there. It would've been very difficult to make this happen without his help, so big thanks to him for his help! In this recording, we talked about his experiences helping out with different organizations, including NAFA and the Oklahoma

Falconry Chronicles Podcast ·

2025/08/26

This remotely recorded episode was another that was a year in the making. I finally had a chance to sit down with Heather to talk about flying Cooper's hawks, kestrels, red-tailed hawks, her motivation for starting her falconry supply business, Mountain State Falconry Supply, her book Squirrel Hawking in Appalachia, and other cool stuff. I'm glad I finally got a chance to get her recorded and talk shop! If you're interested in some good falconry equipment, particularly for kestrels and micros, head

Falconry Chronicles Podcast ·

2025/08/19

This episode is the other recording that I did while in Arizona a few weeks ago, and thanks to the encouragement of mutual friends Kalen and Amy, I was able to meet up with Jerry and get his story while at Amy and Donnie's place. Jerry is another falconer with a very long career in the sport, with a lot of very unique experiences. He talks about flying golden eagles and ornate hawk eagles in AZ, his unique way of getting interested in falconry through raptor rehabilitation (which in that instance,

Falconry Chronicles Podcast ·

2025/08/12

The 2024 NAFA meet was the first time there was a chance to meet and talk to Sabrina in person, and it was then that we first discussed being on each other's respective podcasts. We finally made this happen recently, and on this remotely recorded episode, we talk about why Sabrina decided to restart and continue on with her show, what species she prefers to fly, her preferences in dog breeds, and aspirations for her falconry moving forward. If you want to hear me on her show as well, look up the

These next few months are gonna be coming to you from AZ, AR, and OK! I recently visited falconers in each state during my travels before, during, and after my birthday, and got a lot of good episodes recorded. This episode was one of the two I recorded while I was in AZ, and features another falconry couple, Amy Woods and Donnie Darras.

In this last episode (for now) featuring falconers from Kansas, I sit down and have a fun, lengthy conversation with Bill Brooks to talk accipiters, particularly Cooper's hawks, starting falconry in California during the early days, and the inspiration behind staying busy making blocks, perches, and other things.

Episode 174: Jake Thomas

Falconry Chronicles Podcast ·

2025/07/01

I have been talking to the guest for this episode, Jake Thomas, for over a year now, trying to figure out how I could make it down to feature some of the falconers from Kansas. Well, those plans finally came to fruition, and I was finally able to make it down to Jake's to record over a recent weekend! In this episode, Jake discusses all the factors that led into his falconry, his preferences in dogs, and what it was like jumping into the deep end with goshawks and some of the lessons that went with

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

Episode 172: Colten White

Falconry Chronicles Podcast ·

2025/06/17

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

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

Episode 170: Francie Forrester

Falconry Chronicles Podcast ·

2025/06/03

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

Episode 169: Steve Layman

Falconry Chronicles Podcast ·

2025/05/27

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!

Episode 167: Ken Hooke

Falconry Chronicles Podcast ·

2025/05/13

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

Episode 166: Rick Thompson and Rich Moats

Falconry Chronicles Podcast ·

2025/05/06

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
