    Default Hello from Ky

    Hi everyone! I'm 16 and I am from Kentucky and I dream to be a falconer. I have 6 books that I'm reading to try and prepare for the falconry exam. I've always wanted to be a falconer since I first read about it. It is all I think about now. So if anyone in Kentucky would let me come and see them fly their birds and teach me a thing or two I would greatly appreciate it.
    P.s. I'm still trying to figure out this website so sorry if this is posted in the wrong place

    I'll call you some time soon. But if you have a free day ,before I get the chance to call you, that I can come up and see your bird just call or text me at 270-401-1011. I'm usually free every day. Especially with summer coming up soon.

    I am in Spencer County near Taylorsville lake. I don't get started until about October but have 2 experienced Harris's hawks and a goshawk.

    Good luck on your test! I'm out of state right now but should be back in a couple of years and would love to go hawking with you all.

    Well hopefully by then I can go hawking with y'all. Did you trap your Harris hawks or are they captive bred?
