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 also has a gyrfalcon propagation project, and primarily flies gyrfalcons in his own falconry.

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!

Episode 146: John Coffman

Falconry Chronicles Podcast ·

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

Episode 145: Tucker Taylor

Falconry Chronicles Podcast ·

2024/12/10

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

Episode 144: Chad Reynolds

Falconry Chronicles Podcast ·

2024/12/03

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

Episode 143: Spence Wise

Falconry Chronicles Podcast ·

2024/11/26

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. Thanks again to the Texas Hawking Assocation for helping to make

2024/11/19

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

Falconry Chronicles Podcast ·

2024/11/05

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

Episode 139: Don Roeber

Falconry Chronicles Podcast ·

2024/10/29

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! Like many of these episodes with longtime falconers,

Falconry Chronicles Podcast ·

2024/10/22

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

Episode 137: Jenni Buckley

Falconry Chronicles Podcast ·

2024/10/15

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

Episode 136: Brett Rees

Falconry Chronicles Podcast ·

2024/10/08

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.

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.

Episode 134: Ryan Corlew

Falconry Chronicles Podcast ·

2024/09/24

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

Episode 133: Zack Bohn

Falconry Chronicles Podcast ·

2024/09/17

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

We're back to Texas again for another episode that was recorded earlier this year at the Texas Hawking Assocation meet!

You'll be hearing more out of a lot of other Texas falconers
