    Episode 202: Tim Williams

    This remotely recorded episode features the creator of the Falconry Journal app, Tim Williams. Tim comes on to discuss his motivations for taking on the endeavor of creating the app, the different upgrades he's making to the app through offering the pro version, and how falconry is for him in northern California. This should be a good listen for current users of the Falconry Journal app, and for those of you who haven't used it, you should at least give it a trial. It's a great tool to have!

    Episode 201: Wayne Skankey

    I hope you all enjoyed episode 200! We're continuing on with 201, and just a heads up, from here on out, I'll publish what I can, when I can publish it. Unfortunately, there might be more remote recordings in the future, but I'll do my best to continue to do in person when I can. This episode and a few others were supposed to be recorded in person at the Arizona meet in Camp Verde, but because of some unfortunate circumstances, I had to cancel plans last minute. Fortunately, one of my planned guests, Wayne Skankey, agreed to join me remotely after the meet to discuss his falconry, juggling his career around his falconry, getting to live in Taiwan for a while and seeing falconry there, and flying merlins and peregrines, amongst other things!

    Episode 200: Dr. Ken Riddle

    Well, here we are folks.... Another couple of big milestones for the podcast! This 200th episode also marks two years of being on my own under Falconry Chronicles, and I held this recording back to mark such an occasion! The guest for this episode, Dr. Ken Riddle, has been requested many times over the years, and thanks to the help of Rob Rainey, Robert Bagley, and other mutual friends, this recording was finally able to take place last summer. I'm so glad that it did, because Ken has roughly 75 years of falconry experiences and memories, and over this nearly 3.5 hour long episode, you'll get to hear quite an amazing story! It goes without saying, but it's impossible to encompass 75 years, 35 of which were in the Middle East, in 3.5 hours, but Ken shares an overview of some of his life, endeavors, and accomplishments in this lengthy episode, and because some of these things need clarified and expounded upon further, he's already agreed to another follow up episode! This recording is a great example of why I've been motivated for so long to continue the podcast, and why I've believed in this mission for so long. I appreciate you all for continuing to listen over 200 episodes, and I hope you enjoy this milestone episode!

    Episode 199: Doug Bensinger

    This episode was recorded seemingly forever ago, almost three years to be exact. Now that I've made my way completely through my backlog and had a chance to listen back to this episode that I've held in reserve for so long, it felt like an appropriate time to put it out. I recently published another episode featuring a longtime Indiana falconer, so I figured this would be a good time to publish another! Doug agreed to do this recording while I was still working a travel position in Terre Haute, and after doing some hawking, we sat down to discuss Doug's young start in falconry, what falconry was like in Indiana all those years ago from his perspective, and most importantly, to get some fond memories of Don Garvin, another longtime Indiana falconer who passed in 2022.  Support at buymeacoffee.com/falconrychronicles Special thanks to the organizations and businesses who've kindly helped support the podcast!

    Episode 198: Karl G Kerster

    Falconers and their opinions... You all have heard that sentiment mentioned many times now on the podcast, and for those of you who have been active falconers longer than five seconds, you know this sentiment all too well! There are some opinions that are more rooted in fact and that are widely agreed upon, but others are up for much more debate. There are always going to be disagreements within the falconry community, as there are in any life endeavor. I have no doubt there will be many who both agree and disagree with some of the thoughts and opinions shared by the guest of this episode, but nevertheless, I appreciate Karl taking the time to come on and spend a couple of hours sharing some pretty crazy hunting stories, some of his changes in his own opinions over the years, and some of his opinions on what he thinks we could or should be doing differently with falconry here in the United States. Whichever side of the fence you're on, I hope that, as always, it may at least get you thinking!

    Episode 197: Kai Schmid

    This episode takes us back to Germany once again, this time in the more central part of the country, where Kai Schmid resides. Kai comes on the podcast to talk about his affinity for goshawks and vizslas, and details how he incorporates ferrets in his falconry. He also discusses some of the challenges that Germany faces currently with declining rabbit populations, as well as how avian influenza is affecting falconry there.
