Falconry Program

Falconry has been around for centuries dating back to 1000 B.C. and has been a staple in many cultures. There have been many types of Falconers over the years from lowly peasants to kings and emperors. Falconry was introduced in the United State in 1622 from England. The sport has evolved over the years but has stayed similar with the bond between the hunter and their bird. Take a look around, there is a lot of information to sift through.
