Hunting is a tradition passed down through the generations, but there is one method of hunting that pre-dates even the spear. Falconry, the ancient sport of utilizing a trained bird of prey to hunt wild game, is a sport practiced by fewer than 200 people in Missouri. Interpreter Meagan Duffee-Yates, licensed falconer with both the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the State of Missouri, will explore the history of falconry from its roots in Asia to today in Missouri. Learn about this ancient sport, about the methods and equipment used and see her live falconry birds.
