    Default Hello from Oklahoma

    Thought I'd drop a line to say hi, I'm from Enid, Oklahoma. I'm really interested in the sport, but I would like to take the time to learn more about it before I commit to getting a bird. I have trained and hunted coon & squirrel dogs for over 20 yrs. I recently sold all my dogs and have took the time to look at other hunting sports and have always thought this would be neat to do. I have located a gentleman in my home town that could sponsor me, So I will be talking with him very soon, and asking him if I can tag along. I think I will have enough time to spend with a bird, I work from 4:30 a.m. and usually off work by 1:30 p.m. so this would give me every afternoon to train and fly it.. I also have around 5-miles of hunting land I hunt. which includes creek bottoms and prairie, with abundance of wildlife, Pheasent, Quail, squirrel, rabbit, Etc. If there're other Falconers in my area please feel free to give me call, I would like to go a few times to really get an idea on what I'm getting into. Like I said I have ALOT of hunting land...


    Thanks

    No, The lady at the wildlife dept. just gave me his name and number today when I called for my packet. His name is Lee Grater and she said he Sponsors. I tried to call him earlier and it went to his mail box, which said it was full so I couildn't leave a message. So I guess Eric lives here in Enid as well ? I would sure like to meet some people around here close, to get to see what I might be getting my self into .....

    There's nothing like a trail of blood to find your way back home.

    Shelby. You may want to read the dog thread and look at getting back into training a dog to hunt with the bird.

    Shelby, I think Eric Pribil is still living there. He is one of our apprentice coordinators and you can find his info on the Oklahoma Falconers Association's website . I've known Eric for a long time and he is great guy. I'd offer to take you hawking, but I wont be in the state much longer! All the best,
