Welcome Jose. I would like to visit you mid-winter :) Does South Beach allow hawking? :D
Welcome. I have found Illinois to be a great place for Falconry. Don't forget to sign your posts. :o)
Welcome.
Welcome. I need to get down to Orlando with my hawk. I here there is a big mouse there :D
Welcome Ken. Check out http://www.greatlakesfalconers.org that is how I was hooked up with my sponsor and there is a meet coming up in january. I am in New Lenox and just passed my facility...
Well after being convinced I had failed the exam yesterday I received the call that I scored an 85 :o) I figured I guessed on about 15 questions and it appears I was close to right! I guess it comes...
Thank you for the thoughts. I know where a pair are at the moment, so it may be an option if I can pass the exam this week :0)
I personally think it would be fun to have a kestrel. It just seems that every piece of literature I read discourages it for apprentices. Due to the relative high maintenance as a result of weight...
The wife is leaning towards a kestrel at this point, but the new regs are coming to Illinois, so it may open so either options too. Of course we know all of the issues with kestrels, so we will see....

Welcome from a fellow vet. I hope to get where you are soon!
Thanks! thats probably why we have been married all of our adult lives :) We agree when it matters!

I think in the future it would be sweet to both have a harris hawk as they like to hunt in groups, but for our apprenticeship period I have been told it would be better to stick with a single red...
Yes I am a member of NAFA and GLFA now. We traded in the bmw for a Jeep wrangler setup for off-roading this weekend and we spend our free time reading falconry publications and looking for hawks in...
Yes there is at least one. My wife and I met him and his wife for breakfast. He then let us see his falcon and setup. It was awesome.
My wife and I are wanna be falconers living in New Lenox, il. We have been reading everything and taking the kids to find all the local red tails we can find in the event we can get a sponsor soon.
