This week British falconer, Simon Tyers, author of "The Specialist Falcon – A Personal Approach to Lowland Hawking”, joins me for a wide ranging discussion on his philosophical approach to falconry in general, and, more specifically, how he prepares his hunting birds, including a description of his "Perfect Day". Simon explains some terms specific to UK falconry, constraints that falconers in the UK must face, and the uphill battle to re-initiate a peregrine falcon harvest despite total recovery of the species. He provides an example of just how costly it can be to participate in hunting, given that landowners retain shooting rights on their land - North American hunters will likely find it difficult to comprehend the costs.
