Quote 1 about this great "This book is the journal of a season, written by a naturalist who is above all a writer, one who is driven to record and describe what he sees, does, and how he feels about it, in the best words he finds for his subject. They are good words indeed; it is no accident that this work is set off by quotes from Ernest Hemingway and Tom McGuane, two other hunters who tried to get it down right..."-Stephen Bodio, author and naturalist. Quote 2: "This new book by Matthew Mullenix will give you an in-depth insight into the falconer, a falconer's season and everything in his world. I know a few ladies who suggest that it is actually required reading, not just for the falconer, but also for his wife or girlfriend."-David Frank, Western Sporting
