Doc, Lee and Rick speak with Mark Cusick, President of the Michigan Hawking Club!

Imagine trapping your own wild hawk and teaching it to return to your hand from free flight? What are the laws about doing such things? Are there many people in Michigan or in the United States who do this? Listen Saturday as Rick Preuss from Preuss Pets, Doctor Will Schultz, DVM (retired) and Lee Cohen learn all about "falconing" from Mark Cusick, President of the Michigan Hawking Club! Mark will explain how long the sport has been around and what the process is to become a falconer. It's not just buying a hawk and a glove! Learn about the rotation of birds many falconers go through by choice and the reasons why they are much more benefit to young hawks then people understand. You'll hear where to go to look for hawks and how they are trapped and trained to become "pet" hawks who will work in tandem with their handler to catch pray and return to the hand of the handler. In fifteen years, we never covered this topic until this Saturday, June 1 on this weekend's edition of the Mid Michigan Pet Expert Talk Show on 1320 AM WILS on the radio
