As a fellow IL falconer, welcome!! You luckily ended up in a great place for fur and feather in this state. I'm stranded down here in the boondocks >.< You'll definitely want to make that Bloomington meet if you can, it should be a blast! Bloomington's the place to go in IL and most of the IL falconers will probably try to make it. You should meet some great contacts that way. Welcome again! I hope you enjoy it here
