Re: Poetic justice/T. Parkin Hunter email



It's very doubtful that we would have Peregrines in North Carolina now if
not for the falconers who knew so much about handling, hacking, etc.
As for hunting, although I haven't hunted in 20 years, I still say "Yes" is
someone asks me if I'm a hunter. I find it impossible to explain the magic
of being in the woods hunting to someone who has never done it.
