Newb from NW Washington

[Barticus]

Howdy all,
I live up in Northwest Washington. I am totally new to this. I have a neighbor who has taken me hunting rabbits with a Harris Hawk, and after ducks with his falcons. I am looking forward to learning as much as I can so I can pass the falconry test. Any help on study guides would be much appreciated. Look forward to meeting other folks and hopefully flying birds with them some day.

[Barticus]

That is correct. A heck of a guy.

We had a great time.. He caught 2 ducks, but had a bit of an eagle issue on the 3rd set up :eek:

We flew my two boys and caught 2 rabbits as well.

Good luck to you guys thursday! I might be back up on friday to shoot starlings.

[Barticus]

Way cool Matt. If you need help shooting starlings let me know. I would love to help.

Hi Bart,

Here is a topic with some links to practice tests/study guides:

MarkT's practice test is especially comprehensive. At least I hope it is as I am hoping to take and pass the test soon as well.
