How did people hunt before the invention of the gun? Falconry hunts are conducted on the Gunflint Trail and in the Grand Marais-North Shore of Lake Superior area. We operate from mid October through mid-February. Our mission is to help human beings realize the realities of our natural world. Whether it's through our educational or natural hunting programs, we'll educate you about birds of prey, our environment and the harsh struggle all wild creatures must endure to survive. |

Falconry, sometimes called "hawking," requires an incredible amount of time and energy, not to mention a special use permit to capture, possess and hunt with a wild animal. Intriguing enough, it is the thrill of the chase, not the kill, why we hunt with a bird of prey. |

| Services offered: Educational Programs including slide shows and flying bird programs. Offered all year. Eco-Hunting trips you can join for ruffed grouse, red squirrels and snowshoe hare. When we have snow we'll travel by dogsled teams and cross country skis and/or snowshoes, or snowmobiles. Hunting without snow, we will be hiking.
