A Falconry McNab – The Ultimate Field Falconry Experience for up to Four

Immerse yourself in the true essence of traditional hunting with a Falconry McNab, an unparalleled hands-on experience that takes you deep into the world of field falconry.

Your day begins at 9am with a short but essential briefing on proper handling techniques to ensure you’re fully prepared for the adventure ahead. From there, we dive straight into the action, hunting rabbits and pheasants in the classic style, working closely with highly trained pointers and ferrets. This is an engaging and interactive session that allows you to be fully involved in the hunt, witnessing first hand the remarkable teamwork between birds, dogs, and ferrets.

Next, we elevate the experience to classical falconry’s most breathtaking discipline: the high flight. You’ll watch in awe as large falcons are flown straight from the hood in pursuit of crows, demonstrating the raw power, speed, and precision that make this the most visually stunning form of falconry.

To round off the day, we take things to the next level with a truly unforgettable experience: hunting larger quarry with one of our magnificent golden eagles. This is the ultimate test of skill, patience, and teamwork, as we track and pursue prey in some of the most challenging terrain.

This is more than just a falconry experience: it’s a journey into the heart of a centuries-old tradition, offering an up-close, hands-on, and thrilling day in the field. Whether you’re a seasoned falconer or completely new to the sport, this experience will leave you with lasting memories of the true art of hunting with birds of prey.
