Falconry and Game Hawking [PDF ebook] 

Falconry is the practice of hunting wild game by means of a trained bird of prey; it’s both a sport and an art. In this captivating narrative, readers learn that falconry requires commitment, patience, and hard work. Falcons are fierce, fearless, and determined predators that are supremely well adapted to pursue and take down game. Experienced falconers often tell prospective apprentices that falconry can become more of a lifestyle than a pastime. Readers considering this sport must weigh whether they can balance such a demanding activity with school, extracurricular activities, and social life. The volume examines all the resources required for this unique working partnership as well as how falconers must attend to a falcon’s needs, how to hunt, and the sport’s regulations and responsibilities.
