If we are to rise above the chatter, tell our own story and know how to defend our way of life we have to be intentional and intellectual. TL Jones has blessed the hound hunting community for years with his short yet precise speculative writings that make us think and reflect on ourselves and upon that which we love; hunting with hounds.

Clayton White, who is the author of Peregrine Quest, and co-author of Peregrine Falcons of the World, gave me the better part of his afternoon a few months ago, so the jaunt was made down to Utah to discuss Clay's tenured history researching birds of prey. For those of you wanting to learn more about peregrines, and a lot about different aspects of the research and data behind their historical ebbs and flows as a species, get comfortable, and join us!

In the heart of the Appalachian Mountains bear hunting has been a family heritage and way of life for men. Among those men some are celebrated there are more that are just not names recognizable to anyone outside of the local region. They didn’t seek fame for their hunting prowess. They existed before Instagram and Facebook. They lived their lives according to a code that dictated how they conducted themselves in every aspect of life. Be a man. Work Hard. Take care of your family. Hunt hard. Train the next generation to be men.
