Description
Hardbound, Color Photographs, 7.5" x 9.5", 168 ppMost falconry books are either aimed at the beginner or are highly specialized, but Practical Falconry is aimed at those with a moderate amount of experience who would like to learn more about the sport. Based on the use of broadwings and in particular the Harris Hawk, the book covers suitable species of hawk, basic training, dogs for use with hawks, ferrets and their use with hawks, transport of hawks, and equipment, including the latest telemetry. About the Author:James McKay was given his first hawk when he was eleven, and since then he has gained extensive practical experience.
