If you are goin in this with the mindset of hurrying it up! Ya might want to check what ya say before you leap. All licensed falconers have gone thru the process and we all are a little touchy taking on an apprentice. I feel for you as to thinking it seems hopeless to find someone near you but. Maybe you just need to slow your roll. Do you have the funds saved to build your mews, make or purchase your gear? Are you able to even dedicate the time? This isn’t a hobby to most of us it’s a lifestyle..... I don’t want to sound like a jerk but just trying to open your eyes to the reality of what it takes to be a falconer.
