Anton Muller, known for his expertise in hawking with lanner falcons, joins me to talk falconry in the Free State Province. After introducing himself, Anton talks about his farming practices, and how an experience with a spotted eagle owl influenced his decision to fly lanners. We then talk about his hawking grounds, his preferred quarry. Lanners naturally make use of thermals to gain pitch, and Anton talks about the way that they do so. Anton describes how the loss a particularly good peregrine falcon led to his focus on lanners. We talk slipping a lanner on sand grouse and use of dogs when hunting sand grouse. Anton provides some insight into the commonly held belief that lanners can be lazy. We conclude the episode with a broad ranging discussion on gamehawking with lanners. I hope you enjoy this episode with Anton - thanks for listening.
