Salutations, a beginner from Helena, MT.

Hello, I am John Herrin, 23, I live in the Helena, MT area. Ally was kind enough to point me here from an apprenticeship forum.

I am just starting into falconry. I have been doing a lot of reading over the past few months. The books I currently have are,

Dirt Hawking
Apprentice Manual and Study Guide that I got from Mike's.
Hawking and Falconry for Beginners
Falconry & Hawking. by Phillip Glasier
Practical Handbook of Falcon Husbandry and Medicine
The Compleat Falconer
A Falconry Manual

As well as a few books that I checked out from the local library. I have also been reading up on the rules, regulations, and laws concerning falconry on both the state and federal level. Though I found out that Montana has the same regulations at the federal government.

So I am here to get to know the community a little better and continue my interest in the Falconry world. Any tips or suggestions are always welcome.

welcome aboard, before the forum police raid ya, read the forum rules, i.e. sign at least your first name. and check out the apprentice section.

sounds like a good start reading, get out & meet some of the Montana crowd and do a lil brush beating/bird doggin' and you'll be on yer way

(welc) to the club its a BLAST!!!:D

Thanks for the warm welcome.

Hey John, glad you found your way here! You'll find a ton of information, and a few more folks from Montana visiting these forums so it may help you expand your network. Good luck!

(welc) John!
