Bishop,

I will close this thread. You have been given a dose of falconry reality and how falconers don't take kindly to deception. Falconers do not like outsiders to begin with and when an outsider steps out of line it is a huge red flag for us. I told you it was going to be hard to get into good graces after what has happened. I am sorry it has turned out this way but honestly you made your bed.

Thank you for the apology I appreciate you stepping up to the task.

My advice is as you have been told, Stop posting and read. You are going to find that falconers are very protective of this sport. This is not a hobby for us, it is a way of life. It encompasses every part of our beings. You struck a deep nerve with the community.

I believe in second chances and that people do make mistakes. Good luck with your quest in becoming a falconer.
