You too tom. I really hope I'll have the time and money to get everything thing i need. Life loves to throw me curve balls too keep me away from practicing falconry, but It always seems to pull me back haha. I might not even fly a bird until after this year i've heard from the DNR that the regs will be changing in 2011 so I'm hoping they will legalize apprentices hunting with HH's. They are truly awesome birds and a lot of fun to hunt with.
