Falconry article

[thefishguy]

I thought I would share with the group an article I wrote for the NYS Conservationist about falconry. The original, much longer edition, was first published in the July 2013 edition of Fur Fish Game

I hope you enjoy it

Hey cool. That was fun to read. Thanks! We all remember that first hunt.

Great article, Chris! It's always fun to read about other people's introductions and experiences with falconry for the first time. Great photos too- is that the bird you hunted with? It looks to me like a Finnish Goshawk, not a Northern Goshawk.

Thank you . I am glad you guys enjoyed it. I love sharing falconry with others and that first outing was all I needed to get hooked.

@moperegrine, you are correct, that is a finnish gos. I found out after I had submitted the article.

Chris,

I learned after my post that the Finnish Gos is just a "European model" of the Northern Goshawk... Not trying to point out any errors, but shows I'm always learning!

No worries, we are all learning. I learned that shortly after it was published.
