Hello from southwest Missouri

[darowe]

Hello all, I'm just looking into falconry, I have hunted and fished all of my life and something about training a raptor to hunt small game appeals to me. If anyone can point me to someone around the Neosho or Joplin area who I may be able to talk with about an apprenticeship that would be very helpful. Thank you in advance.

Welcome Darren from the eastern parts of Missouri. There is just a few of us down in that part of the state right know. If you don't get someone to help you shoot me a PM and I will see what I can do.

Thank you for the welcome, I appreciate the help, and if I don't have any luck I will definitely let you know.

Hello Darren and welcome aboard, good luck at getting your apprenticeship going.

Thank you Keith, I appreciate the welcome. I do have a question for you guys though about the sequence of events in an apprenticeship. I know there is a test involved and then you can trap a red tail or do I have this backwards? The other big question that I have is how much money will I be looking at just to get into the sport: How much will permits, registrations, ect. cost, then will whoever apprentices me be expecting money, what are feed costs like? I know this is a lot but if someone could give me a rundown of how the process goes it would be much appreciated.

No one will charge you for an apprenticeship. That's illegal.
