Episode 145: Tucker Taylor

Dec 09 2024 103 mins

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

Episode 144: Chad Reynolds

Dec 02 2024 112 mins

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 wha

Episode 143: Spence Wise

Nov 25 2024 55 mins

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,

Episode 142: Tony and Mel Lyons

Nov 18 2024 58 mins

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 exp

Episode 141: Nichole Moore

Nov 11 2024 75 mins

We're down to the last few episodes that were recorded earlier this year at the Texas Hawking Assocation meet! In this episode, Nichole Moore sits down and discusses hawking with Harris's hawks, Cooper's hawks, and also what it's been like to pursue her career in zoology. These last few episodes that were recorded at the THA meet were just as fun as the rest, so look forward to get

Episode 140: Ian Anderson

Nov 04 2024 69 mins

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 go

Episode 139: Don Roeber

Oct 28 2024 78 mins

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

Episode 138: Jay Lehmer

Oct 21 2024 56 mins

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

Episode 137: Jenni Buckley

Oct 14 2024 77 mins

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 soo

Episode 136: Brett Rees

Oct 07 2024 66 mins

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,
