I'm looking for a fairly hard to find book called North American Falconry and Hunting Hawks.

Anyone have a copy they are willing to part with?

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.

A bird already trained, hoods well, all you have to do is go pick it up and go hunting, nice! LOL

http://www.nafex.net/showthread.php?t=14602

So, with that in mind, looking for a passage NA goshawk for this upcoming season. If you can help me trap one or trap one and transfer it to me, I would greatly appreciate it. Unlike the above formentioned ad, I will be glad to train the bird myself and would prefer you just hood the bird and leave it alone until I can pick it up. You can contact me on here or go through the NAFA website and email the NAFAWebMaster. Thanks and when all the offers come pouring in at once, please be patient with me as I sort through them all and get back to you! :eek: :D ]]> Wanted FredFogg http://www.nafex.net/showthread.php?t=14613 http://www.nafex.net/showthread.php?t=14612&goto=newpost Fri, 11 May 2012 14:55:20 GMT My name is Eric. I've been interested in falconry for years now and have researched quite a bit of material on the subject. As I am active duty military, I was glad to read in your forums here that there are military members who practice falconry. Being military was one of the reasons I haven't yet become a falconer, but now that I know it can be done I plan on heading down that road.

I'm looking forward to reading the various posts on the forum ,learning more about this sport, and meeting some great people along the way. ]]> Introductions ericjaeger http://www.nafex.net/showthread.php?t=14612 http://www.nafex.net/showthread.php?t=14606&goto=newpost Fri, 11 May 2012 02:16:56 GMT This was sent out to all OFA members, but I thought I'd also post it here as well....

On Saturday, June 9th from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. the Ohio Falconry Association (OFA) will be hosting the 2nd annual OFA Apprentice Workshop in Columbus, Ohio. This workshop is appropriate for all new apprentices waiting to trap their first bird, as well as for all prospective falconers looking to find out a bit more about the sport. The workshop will cover a variety of topics including: regulations, equipment, trapping and training, hunting with your bird, telemetry (practice included), and many more things.

As part of the workshopo, all participants will have the opportunity to make a pair of their own kangaroo anklets and jesses (RT or Kessie size) while at the workshop. The workshop will be held at the District One ODNR headquarters, which is located at 1500 Dublin Road, Columbus, Ohio. There will be a $10 fee which will cover the cost for materials and lunch.

Please send an RSVP to me, Joe Dorrian, at jdorrian@wideopenwest.com if you plan to attend. This will ensure that we have enough food and materials available for all in attendance. ]]> Picnics/Club Meets annoucements Joby http://www.nafex.net/showthread.php?t=14606 http://www.nafex.net/showthread.php?t=14602&goto=newpost Thu, 10 May 2012 09:40:49 GMT im looking to fly a jack merlin this comming season i could trap my own but too much working not enough time to train so need one thats already train... im looking to fly a jack merlin this comming season i could trap my own but too much working not enough time to train so need one thats already train and flown no bad manner hoods well and wait on good i have a passage female i trained myself this season shes flys very well none stop shes caught varies of game and i got proof and reference on her by my friends so if you have a jack and want :Dto do something call me..local only!!no shipping..my #209-819-6819 ]]> Wanted s2k http://www.nafex.net/showthread.php?t=14602
