E 174. Bird hunting birds with Casey Everett

For this episode, we sit down and talk with our buddy, Casey Everett, about small game hunting. Except, when Casey goes hunting, he brings hawks that he taught to trust and work alongside him and then they bring home cool dinners. Yes, he wins the coolest hobby award. We start the show learning about Casey and how he got into falconry as a kid and we learn what it takes for someone to legally trap and keep birds of prey. Then we hear about his first bird and how one time it tore up his hand pretty bad while hunting. Then we dig into the nuts and bolts of the training, which is super interesting. If you listen closely, there's some similarities between what he does and what we do. It reminded me of bringing home a high drive puppy with tons of natural instincts and you have to build trust and a bond and help nurture those instincts so the dog realizes "ohhhhh we're partners here." Casey is a super knowledgeable guy and is really fun to chat with. Enjoy the show and give him a follow and tell him we sent ya. Cheers! Want more Lone Duck?
