Abstract:

Falconry's partnership between raptor and hunter still yields the excitement that thrilled ancient hunters. Falconry has increased in popularity in the state over the last ten years. In North Carolina there are about fifty falconers who work with two different types of birds of prey--peregrine falcons and a variety of hawks. Falconers must obtain a falconry permit, an annual falconry license, and a state hunting license, all issued by the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission. Falconers have organized the North Carolina Falconer's Guild.
