Description
Hunting Eagle takes the reader straight to the core of golden eagle falconry, charting the eagle’s astonishing rise to power across Germany, Austria and the former Soviet Bloc. It’s an account of the people and places that made it happen, as some of eagle falconry’s best-known names take their first steps towards delivering today’s devastating hunting bird: Knut Roder leaves critics open-mouthed at a Deutscher Falkenorden meeting, Claus Fentzloff pursues jackals in Morocco, and Josef Hiebeler launches his deer-hawking career. Fields and forests are hunted, islands too, as the most testing quarries fall to falconry’s astonishing new bird. Crammed with never-before-translated accounts and supported by scores of fascinating photos, this exciting book will prove riveting for anyone interested in eagle falconry.
