Ugh. That's really annoying, since KS made an exception last time.

I don't understand your concern Jenni?

Colorado just doesn't require it to possess a falconry permit, so it's just one more thing to do before the meet. It's just an inconvenience, but I guess necessary to hawk at the meet.

You can take the class online Jenni. It's not a big deal. I've been a Hunter Safety Instructor for years. If you need any help just ask. PM me if you like.

I guess that's the way to go, although there's still a 6-8 hour in-person conclusion course. I'm being extra whiny about this since I have a new hawk coming soon, and would rather spend that extra 6-8 hours out training and hawking!

Chris are you planning on trapping a prairie falcon while there?

I just completed the TX Online certificate course. Cost me $18 and a full day of sitting at the computer, but there were NO courses anywhere w/in 7 hours of me (so... a full day's drive, a night's stay, a day of class, another night, another day of class, another night's stay and/or a 7 hr drive home). I took the quizzes and main test first, passed with a 98% and then just let the videos run thru the day while I did other stuff.

This is the site I used:

Washington state is really encouraging the on-line approach. That is followed up with a half day on site which includes a review, a quiz (to make sure the participant actually was to one who completed the course) and a field test on basic safety which includes a live fire portion.

I like the convenience but as a Hunter Safety Instructor, we have a number of fails in the field test of on-line students because its the first time many have held a firearm.

Actual class time is what I prefer despite the fact that it takes more time as a volunteer.

I'm wondering if I'm the only forum member who feels that this thread has morphed into a discussion on "Hunter Safety" and should be re-titled to reflect this fact, or if it's time to get back to posting information about the upcoming NAFA Meet.
