Hub Quade, you’ve heard the name, you’ve seen the world-class sculptures, you’ve heard the legends of what passage prairies, peregrines, and gyrfalcons are capable of, now with the Falconry Told Podcast, you get to know the man himself. I titled this episode, “Natural Falconry” though I don’t provide a definition for this term… It’s just the way I began to describe my experience out hawking with Hub Quade with Steve Chindgren and Bjorn Eilers in Wyoming. I dare say, and believe those who know them would back me up, that Hub is known for his desire for things to be as natural as possible. His artwork looks natural, while he’s flown them in the past, he doesn’t feel hybrids are natural, he likes to hunt natural quarry in their natural habitat, with their natural predators. It’s all very organic,

It’s all very organic, he seems to hunger for that connection to nature, to the circle of life, to the wild—that we as falconers can all relate to.
