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.
