"Undoubtedly the most up to date practical treatise on the classic flight at lowland game in Britain - and indeed beyond - this seminal new treatise addresses the 21st century gamehawker's needs, based on decades of experience from an author who is perhaps the last truly professional falconer employed to train hawks solely for an employer's sport. It reflects not only Simon Tyers' successful years in this most challenging profession, but also draws on his wider experience with training dogs and gamekeeping and charts his evolution of methods to maintain the highest standards of traditional gamehawking in an ever-changing countryside."
