Corey Roelke, President of the Texas Hawking Association, joins me on this episode of Game Hawker Edition. Corey gets us started by telling us about the birds he has in his possession, and his English springer spaniel, “Hela”.
With help from Heath Garner, Corey recently trapped a passage peregrine in Arkansas. He tells us about that experience and trapping beach birds in Texas. We then discuss how he intends to reclaim his intermewed birds, and we get caught-up on how his newly-trapped falcon is adjusting to life as a falconry bird.
Before turning our attention to the events of the day, Corey describes the landscapes in which he hunts and the quarry that over-winters in Texas.
