Episode 2: Steve Chindgren - Scratching the Surface

Steve Chindgren is one of those "larger than life" figures in the sport of falconry. He's the author and photographer behind his signature book, "The Art of Hawking Sage Grouse" and is a Sage Grouse hawking phenom. His movies and social media posts about the famous House of Grouse have made us all feel like we know him; and this podcast episode will further solidify that notion, as we get a glimpse into his childhood, early falconry, accomplishments, and more. This episode just scratches the surface, and future episodes with Steve are in the works.

You can pick up a copy of Steve’s freshly released book at your favorite falconry supplier, or from Steve directly via stevechindgren@comcast.net. If you do email him, thank him for this podcast episode and beg him for more!
