Hey Jason! It was good seeing you at the meet last weekend. You're on the right track. As I'm sure you've already figured out, hanging out with and asking questions around other falconers is a great way to learn. I know I pick up a lot just listening to more experienced guys (and gals) talk. Best wishes for your future education plans. Sounds like you have your priorities straight. Even if you don't get a bird in the next year or two, you're always welcome to tag along and beat the brush. It's almost more fun getting to see the flights without the hassle of having a bird.
