PFHT Field Meet 2007
January 11-13, 2007
Centre County
State College, PA
PA falconers & all PFHT members, lets go
hawk’n! Gary Brewer would like to
experience PA falconry at its best. This
year’s meet should prove to be as good as
ever. If you come, they will fly, jump ‘n’
run. Bunnies & squirrels are in abundance
as well as scattered ducks and a few
pheasants.
The state-wide central location of this year’s
meet combined with the treasured company
of Gary Brewer as our Saturday evening
banquet speaker will hopefully encourage
you all to do your best to come join this
memorable occasion.
Hope to see you soon!
Sincerely,
Jeffrey D. Kimmel

Membership:
Having been involved with PFHT for the last 10+ years as a member, I
enjoy seeing all your names on the roster. However, our ranks are
shrinking and this is definitely NOT good! Please encourage licensed PA
falconer to reconsider membership and renewed involvement with PFHT.
Our organization speaks directly with the PA Game Commission and they
listen
Please renew your membership and pay your dues at the registration table
if you have not yet done so.
Non Resident Falconers:
PA welcomes you all with a 7-day Small Game License which can be
purchased though the Internet at www.pgc.state.pa.us on the Licensing
link. We hope to provide alternate options at the Meet but cannot guarantee
availability since the Commission recalls unsold licenses at year end.
Please try to help other nonresidents without Internet connections to
secure licensing
Any questions?
Please feel free to give me a call 814-571-2127 on
