The sport of Falconry practiced by local hunters – no guns, only sharp beaks and talons.
Some local hunters don’t use guns when they head out into the woods to capture game. Instead, their weapons of choice have keen vision, curved beaks and sharp talons. Falconry, also known as hawking, is an ancient sport that is still being practiced with passion today throughout New England. Meet some Rhode Island enthusiasts and witness how they train with their Sky Hunters.
