Programs

  • Introductory Session
    • Duration: 1 hour
    • Learn about the art of falconry, the raptors used in the practice of falconry, and the need for their conservation
  • Extended Session
    • Duration 1 ½ hours
    • Free-fly hawks through fields and forest as you experience falconry and learn about the lives of raptors and their conservation.
  • Hunting Session
    •  A pre-hunt session of handling and flying hawks followed by a quarry hunt with hawks. Available during the small game season (mid-October through mid-March and at various locations within 20 miles of the Inn). If you want to see these winged predators do what they were made to do – take game in their natural environment – then this is the experience for you!
       We meet in the early morning at or close to the Inn and head out together with our hunting Harris Hawks to one of our hunting fields.
       Learn about hunting with raptors, field etiquette, and dressing game taken by the hawks. Joining these birds in a hunt is a rare experience.
