Come to Hershey, Pennsylvania—Experience
the unique sport of falconry.
Falconry is the craft of hunting wild game with trained birds of prey— hawks,
eagles, and falcons. It originated in Central Asia more than 4,000
years ago.
Before firearms, falconry was a practical means of putting food on
tables. Today it's the most heavily regulated field sport
in the nation, with about 3,500 devotees who are licensed by both
state and federal wildlife agencies.
The Falconry Experience by The Hotel Hershey will acquaint
participants with the history of man’s relationship with raptors
and the evolution of falconry. It will include free-flight demonstrations,
a simulated hunt demonstration, and an opportunity for participants
to hold a majestic bird of prey.
The program will be run by master falconer Jack Hubley. Hubley,
a life-long resident of Lititz, PA has been a licensed falconer for
20 years.
