Thank you for your service. Your in an area ripe with Falconry and the birds used there............mainly Falcons. There's a lot of dedication and work in keeping and hunting them but well worth the effort. Hopefully someone from your State will see your post and chime in as each state has specific regulations on getting into Falconry. Your State also will have a State Club as well. Once again, thank you for your service to our country and maybe someone else can chime in near your home area.
