Falconry Chronicles Podcast ·

2025/04/29

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 Chronicles Podcast ·

2025/04/22

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

2025/04/15

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

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.

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.

Falconry Chronicles Podcast ·

2025/03/18

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

Episode 158: Tyler Forke

Falconry Chronicles Podcast ·

2025/03/11

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!Sign up to

Episode 157: Ross Dirks

Falconry Chronicles Podcast ·

2025/03/04

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. It was another whirlwind weekend,

Episode 156: Jeremiah Weber

Falconry Chronicles Podcast ·

2025/02/25

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

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.

2025/02/11

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!

Falconry Chronicles Podcast ·

2025/02/04

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.

2024/12/17

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
