Wild

 
 

Jenna Woginrich describes her lifestyle as feral. 

At 27, she cashed in her 401k and her comfortable, corporate job for a six-acre homestead and a dream: to be self-sufficient and live life on her own terms.

Two years into her homesteading journey, Jenna became an apprentice falconer. Every autumn, she traps an adolescent, red-tailed hawk, gains its trust, and trains it to hunt alongside her through the winter. Come spring, she releases her avian partner back into the wild as a sexually mature, confident hunter.

The relationship between a falconer and her bird is a partnership. A partnership the hawk can choose to end at any time by simply flying away. It is free to choose its path as Jenna did.

Wild is the story of a woman, her hawk, and the untamed, independent spirit that binds them.
