Hello all,
New guy here from Frederick, Maryland. 21 year old male student studying Biology and Chinese at Towson University. Have been interested in the sport and fascinated by raptors since about 12...After reading "My Side of the Mountain". Thought it would be a phase, just from reading a cool story....but the interest in becoming a facloner keeps biting me. The last year, a lot. This past 6 months its been strong and now it is keeping me up at night and all I think about doing. Something needs to be done..
I have modified my life from living in a city (Baltimore), now back to the parents house in the suburbs by the appalachain mountains, large backyard for a mews and tons of open space to hunt all over the county....and I have permission to build the mews and go forward in this sport from the parents. I've made the decision that I am ready to dedicate whatever I need to particitpate in the sport.
Starting to delve deeper into into falconry... reading a lot and got the Apprentice Handbook from the California Hawking Club and plan to take the test this summer....I am looking for a sponsor...so if anyone knows one from MD, VA or PA. let me know. I am willing to travel!
I am very excited about this and hope to get to know all of you.
