The Ultimate Falconry Competition

Once a year in breathtaking Rush Valley, falconers gather for one of the most high caliber competitions in the sport. Only the best falcons and their falconers compete. Pioneered by Gerald Richards in the 1970s; Gerald made it very clear that this event was not falconry but a way for falconers to showcase the prowess of their game-hawks at the end of their falconry season.

This year, long-time Utah falconer Steve Chindgren placed both first and second with his high-flying, hard-hitting Gyr x Peregrine tiercels, Badger and DC. Jon Taylor placed third with a female Gyr x Red-naped Shaheen. Many thanks to the other contestants who provided such an incredible weekend of high-flying falcons.
