Episode 88: Mike McDermott

Falconry Chronicles Podcast

This episode has taken awhile to come to fruition, but thanks to some mutual friends (and some bourbon!), Mike McDermott has agreed to come on the podcast to discuss his falconry experiences with us. Amongst other things, we talk about passage Cooper's hawks, imprint goshawks vs. chamber/parent reared goshawks, and the motivations for writing books. He also discusses his change in mindset throughout his years in falconry as well. There's a lot of great stuff in this episode, but just a heads up, there's some "colorful" language at times in this episode, so just consider yourself warned! A lot of fun was had during the recording and editing of this episode, and we're confident you'll get some good info and laughs out of it too!

Special thanks to the organizations and businesses who've kindly helped support the podcast!
