Howdy from Kentucky!

[kidfalconer]

I live in central KY near Taylor county. I can't believe just by looking down the introductions page how many falconers there are in KY! Im 13 rite now and I know I cant get a permit yet but I will turn 14 this summer and I wont have the money to get started until then anyway.
I hope I can get the money together to get into falconry, from what i've read on the internet I think me and my dad can build alot of the equipment (perch, and housing) but you KY guys know ive gotta have $175 just to get a permit. I'm pretty sure I can make that much money plus enough for anything else I need this summer through side jobs.
This sport seems amazing, I know it takes a lot of hard work and alot of time but im willing to put forth that much effort.
I hope by the end of this new year I can get a good foundation into falconry.

young man, one of the things was ask of people is to sign there post. Unlike falconry this site has very few rules, signing post is one. $175.00 dollars to get a permit, that sucks. Have fun!

Zach read as much as you can and get you some good app. books through one of the falconry suppliers like Mikes and read read read then start looking for a sponsor by contacting fish and wildlife and ask for a falconry packet it will have names of falconers who are willing to take on apprintices, good luck and study hard.
