Shortly after writing his book, The Philosophy and Ethics of Falconry, Colten contacted me and introduced himself, asking if I could possibly give him feedback and point him in the direction of others who might also do so. After reading his book, I asked him if he might be willing to let me use him and his book in my first attempt at producing an audiobook, and towards the end of last falconry season earlier this year, we did just that! Colten came down to record over a weekend, and along with the audiobook, we recorded this episode, and did some hawking as well! If you want to get the audiobook for yourself, it can be found on Audible and most other audiobook platforms, and you can also obtain a physical copy through Amazon, Western Sporting, and Northwoods Falconry. Many thanks to him for coming down and being willing to record this project, as well as this episode!

Bill and Rich have been hawking buddies for a VERY long time. They share a lot of history together in this episode, including the roles they helped play in establishing dachshunds in hunting and falconry, what their falconry has been like all these years in the northern part of Indiana, and some of their favorite hunting memories together. Special thanks to Paul Thomas for helping bring this episode together, and for letting us borrow his RV at a dachshund field trial last summer to get this recorded. It was a fun one!

Ms. Francie is another falconer who's been requested by several folks over the past couple years, and she was another guest I was able to track down at the 2024 NAFA meet and finally get to record with! It was fun hearing her reminisce about a lot of fond memories in her many years in falconry, and hearing her talk about her fondness for helping the younger generations and newcomers to falconry was also inspiring. For those who know Francie, you know she's a fun conversation, but for those who've never met her, you're about to find out!
