After lurking this site for a few years i figure its time to say Hello. I live in Southern Maryland & Currently do not have a falconry permt. This is going to be the year i finally make the commitment and apply.

Big hello from SOMD

Good luck.

Thank you will definitely need it. Looks like i will have a lot of road trips because i dont see any local sponsors.

[JrHawker]

That seems to be the deal with just about everything in this state. My sponsor lives about 45 minutes away from me, and that's with good traffic.

[eli8210]

Yeah seems like my closest one is about a hour and half away and i just hope they have the bandwidth for a apprentice.

You could post what's the nearest town to you, that would help narrow it down a little.

[TheMangler]

Oh I remember those days! The excitement and anticipation. The grand dreams of what it would be like to trap and fly a majestic bird of prey. The frustration on waiting for the stinking lazy butt authorities to get off their butts to come inspect my mews, and then again waiting on the even lazier Feds to send me my license. The ridiculous adrenalin rush of trying to trap my first bird. The excitement of flying my first bird. hmmmmmmmmmmmmm brings back so many memories :-) Good luck with everything!!!
