As a big fan of Matt's work and writing style, to say we're proud to carry this little tome is an understatement. If you're looking for a quick and concise read on what makes falconry work, you'll be hard-pressed to find a better treatise on the subject. It's not only great for those serious about getting into the sport, but it's a nice refresher for those of us who have been in it for years.
 
ABOUT THE BOOK
Part troubleshooter, part owner's manual, Four Falconry Fundamentals strips away the sport's layers of inherent complexity and tradition to reveal its cornerstone concerns: prey base; husbandry; recall; and slip management. Drawing from more than 35 years of successful field experience, Mullenix guides the reader through each fundamental aspect of the sport and how it relates to important considerations, like: choice of a hawk; weight management; entering and finally, measuring success. Concise and highly readable, this small book hopes to start conversations, inspire new ways of thinking and improve falconers' practice and enjoyment of their sport.

HEATHER'S REVIEW
I’ve never seen falconry painted so effectively with such a broad brush, but I’m not surprised it was Matt Mullenix who ultimately nailed the gig. “Four Falconry Fundamentals” is the perfect outline for budding falconers. It’s well-organized, to the point and easy to understand. It’s a look at the key elements that lead to consistently taking game with our birds, which is, after all, the whole point of what we do as falconers. The icing on the cake? The book is written in classic Matt Mullenix style—witty, articulate, sincere and unabashedly honest. Matt has a writing style like no other. His work is, as always, not only enlightening, but incredibly entertaining to read. I highly recommend “Four Falconry Fundamentals.”
