Kevin, If you go to the NYS Falconry Assoc web site you should be able to hook up with Bill Deckert or Tom Lowe, both of whom are active members in the state organization and the Long Island Falconer's group. They should be able to answer alot of your questions! Charley Koop 1talontamer
Kevin[/QUOTE] Thanks for the info Kevin. I'm literally just getting started and I already see that it's a major commitment. I just ordered the book NORTH AMERICAN FALCONRY & HUNTING HAWKS I guess that's a good primer. Please pass along any info you think might be helpful. I will do the same. Thanks again, nice to meet you! -Dave (P.S.-not sure my regular PM's are getting to you. maybe I'm too new to the site?)
Hello Kevin27, My name is Dave Bayles. I'm from Port Jefferson and new to Falconry. I have just discovered and registered on nafex.net but have found very little info about Long Island Falconry. Do you know of any local organizations or clubs I can join to learn more? Any info greatly appreciated! Thanks, -Dave.
