[_skywalker_]

FINALLY!!!After a year of reading,studying,observing,raptors..meeting ,hanging out and hawking with some of the most exellent falconers here in Indiana....I PASSED MY TEST!! 104/120 ..87%!! .
I have some equipment that I have been gathering..in the process
Now of obtaining the last of my equipment, mews etc.. I'm a big D.I.Y guy . Homemade is the bestmade!..for the most part..(some stuff can't be competed with), I'm going to post picture's of stuff I make ,to show construction and layouts . As this site needs more D.I.Y threads.
A HUGE thanks to Redfox , who has agreed to be my sponsor, couldn't have done it without cha! And look forward to many happy hawking days we have ahead of us! Looking forward to the challenges , thrill and excitement in every stage of this most awesome way of life.
And thanks to all the other falconers in the IFA I have been hawking with. The hospitality, and fellowship of this group here in indiana has far exceeded anything I ever expected, I couldn't ask for a better group of guys.
And So...The next part of my journey begins....happy hawking
Ryan.

Congrats to you, Ryan!!! Great job on your test, as expected. We're all really happy for ya. You've already been a great addition to the small group of us trudging through the fields and wood lots of central Indiana as we terrorize rabbits, squirrels and ducks with our hawks!

test

When you are in the Library part of Photobucket, move your mouse over the picture you want to post, a small black box will appear in the upper right hand corner, move your mouse over it and a box will open, click on the Get Links... and then it will open a Share the photo window, click on the box below IMG codes and it will copy the code, go to your post and right click and click paste. If posting multiple pictures, make sure you hit return after you paste the first picture so there will be space between pictures and it post them on top of each other and not beside each other.
