Episode 107 - Jim Hoover

This week on the pod we interview Jim Hoover. Jim is a falconer from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Uniquely, Jim was personal friends with Daniel Mannix, the author of The Fox and the Hound and this podcast's namesake, A Sporting Chance! Find out some very interesting details about the eccentric author and his menagerie of animals. Jim also shares with us his personal preferences in falconry (hawking a shortwinged hawk off the fist), some early history of American Game Hawking and much more on this very interesting episode!
