Howard and Jason Caldwell are second and third generation preachers and fourth and fifth generation hunters.
Having always enjoyed hunting, fishing and the natural beauty of the great outdoors,
both have an intense interest in predators, particularly raptors.
Falconry is the art or sport of taking wild game or quarry with a trained bird of prey.
It is thought to be the oldest form of hunting still in existence today.
Two years ago, Howard and Jason started “Raptors Up Close”,
a non-profit organization dedicated to educating the public
in the fascinating world of raptors through good conservation by public demonstration.
