Greetings from Pottstown, PA

[Khaos]

Hello All,

I am EXTREMELY interested in getting into Falconry. My only problem as this point is finding someone in my area to show me the ropes and go hunting with. I have been interested in the sport for well over 10 years, but have not had the appropriate amount of free time as we were raising a young family. Not my schedule is freeing up and I would like to pursue this long time passion and give it the dedication it deserves. So anyone in the Pottstown, PA willing to help a new guy out please dont be shy.

Welcome.

Contact the PGC in Harrisburg and request a falconry packet with a list of permitted falconers.
Send Cheri, the PFHT apprentice coordinator (address is on the website) an email expressing your interest and she will help direct you toward falconers in your area.

To get involved in it around here, PFHT has an apprentice coordinator that helps people get connected to potential sponsors. Her name is Cheri Heimbach and if you contact her, she should be able to get you in contact with someone in your area. The problem right now is that we already had our field meet and our picnic is not until the summer. That's all the advice I have, I hope things really work out for you!

Thank you all for the valuable information I have reached out to PFHT and Cheri has sent me a list of possible contacts. I look forward to learning what it really takes to live the lifestyle.
