Humans have been training birds of prey to hunt with them for over 5,000 years — and around 375 falconers now call Utah home.
is a tradition still today, passed from parent to child, in the Altia Range of mountains bordering Mongolia and Kazakhstan. Early explorer and merchant Marco Polo documented the falconry expeditions of Genghis Khan in that region.
Unlike in some parts of the world, where falconry provides for families, Utah falconers are more likely to use their quarry to feed their birds between hunts.Raising raptors and mentoring future falconers That mentoring relationship is both sound tradition and part of Utah law. An apprentice falconer must be sponsored by a general or master falconer in order to ensure their training and their bird's care is adequate.Edwards, a Utah teacher, had long been fascinated by birds, in general, and reached out to another Utah woman who posted about falconry on Facebook. Upon meeting her and her falcon, Edwards was hooked.
Hawks, on the other hand, as demonstrated by a recent outing with Craig Boren, will hunt from the air or a perched position and typically from much lower elevations than falcons. Unlike falcons, which prefer taking their prey in flight, hawks will pursue prey on the ground.
