Episode 199: Doug Bensinger

This episode was recorded seemingly forever ago, almost three years to be exact. Now that I've made my way completely through my backlog and had a chance to listen back to this episode that I've held in reserve for so long, it felt like an appropriate time to put it out. I recently published another episode featuring a longtime Indiana falconer, so I figured this would be a good time to publish another! Doug agreed to do this recording while I was still working a travel position in Terre Haute, and after doing some hawking, we sat down to discuss Doug's young start in falconry, what falconry was like in Indiana all those years ago from his perspective, and most importantly, to get some fond memories of Don Garvin, another longtime Indiana falconer who passed in 2022.
