Soon to be apprentice.

[RT-Angel Fire]

Hello all,

Briefing: I am a New Mexico resident farm raised, avid outdoorsman, was a professional dog trainer (agility and obedience) I’ve worked with everything from mice to primates and I’ve recently lost a dear family member and hunting buddy (My GSH Pointer Marshall) and though it's been tough; I now have a great deal more time to pursue something I've been longing to do(become a Falconer). I have had the opportunity to accompany a great group of Falconers and their Birds and am looking forward to becoming an apprentice.

Welcome! My wife is an avid agility person with her shelter corgie-collie mix. I told her for years that she needed a hobby - I'm now telling her that I didn't mean one that involves me spending whole weekends sitting in an Ag center watching her compete while trying to keep our 1.5 and 4 year olds corralled.

Robert, glad to see you made it to this site. It sounds like you had an opportunity to get out with Warren and the guys. Hope things work out for you.

In my opinion It's much easier to train than to compete and three times as difficult to manage children.

My name is Robert and I've never had so much fun. I can't wait for the challenges that lie ahead.

Yes Jim I did, and it was really a direct result of running in to you at the lake. I guess fate had a part in pushing me on this journey.

I too hope it works out. I'm devoting all that I have to making it happen.

Hey Robert, to NAFEX and the whacky, crazy world of falconry, you are going to love it!

As been mentioned before, one of the few rules on here is for everyone to sign each post with their real name as it keeps it friendly and so far, it has really worked well for this forum. The easiest way to do it is to click on User CP and then on Edit Signature and put what ever you want in there and each time you post, it will automatically put your Signature at the bottom of your post.

Have fun!

Hi Robert,

Welcome to NAFEX. I took the liberty and fixed your signature. As Fred pointed out, it really helps keep things clean and friendly here.

I just moved to Roswell. If you ever in the area and have your Rt look me up.

Looking forward to your posts/pictures

All the best

Chris

Robert, get your D90 out and take a bunch of pic's. Everyone on this forum is into looking at other people pic's. There are a couple of threads going now where you can post. One of them is "Random Pictures".

Thanks Chris, I've never been to Roswell but I like to get out of town any chance I get. I'll definately look you up when I get down that way.
