New apprentice from Mississippi

Just introducing myself....

I'm Evan, I live in MS and i'm hopefully a month away from trapping my 1st bird. I've always had an interest in falconry, and it's been the only sport my wife and I enjoy together. I've been fortunate to meet several falconers in the state and have been able to watch and participate in a the past year.

When I finally made contact with falconers that didn't mind a +1 at a hunt, it was already the start of last years season. So after passing my test and preparing my mews and equipment, I've had a rather long and anxious wait for trapping season. The first time I got to hold a bird on my fist was unlike anything I can describe. I'm certain some of you felt the same.

I look forward to meeting some of you throughout the next few years.

Indeed, truly an exciting moment! Just wait until you turn your freshly caught/trained bird loose for the first time and see it return when you recall it. Some of life's never to be forgotten moments! Best wishes on your upcoming trapping adventure; hope you get the exact bird you are hoping for! Happy hawking to you!
