I have been actively taking advantage of the information on this website for the past few months, so I figure it's about time to introduce myself. I live in south western WV, and part of the requirement to live here is to be an avid outdoorsman... it's on the application for residence, even. I'm a cop by trade, and a soon to be dad (yeehaw) thanks to a wonderful wife!

I have been interested in falconry since high school, which has been more years than I care to admit. I recently discovered a master falconer that lives 1/4 mile away (and there are only 12 in the state) who is sponsoring my ambition, and guiding me on the construction of my mews/weathering yard for a red tail to -hopefully- call home when trapping season opens here in September.

Peace,
Chappy
