Hello from north central IN

[AdamS]

Just registered here, what a great site! I live about 90 miles north of Indy,am a general class and occupation is United Methodist preacher. I'm looking forward to reading through these threads on long cold winter nites.
Have a Merry Christmas!

Adam:
One thing about this particular 'Introductions' forum on NAFEX that I find a little odd is that many new-comers are not greeted or welcomed by falconers in their particular state or region. I always respond to individuals that first come on NAFEX that are from Oregon. Thus I find it strange that one or more IN falconers have not done the same. Perhaps your occupation scared them off--hah.

Are you currently flying / hunting with a bird? At any rate, I venture to say that the combination of falconer and minister is somewhat unusual if not unique.

Hello and to NAFEX.

[AdamS]

Thank you Richard, and "thunderheartiii" for the welcome. Yes I am flying a RT that I flew for a rehabber late last winter. She was hit by a car as a late passage bird, started doing very well for me and I decided to fly her this year. She is crazy about squirrels, loves to hunt rabbits but if my mini-doxies are slow flushing rabbits, she will start scanning nearby woods for squirrels. She is pretty good with them though and it is exciting flying. Perhaps it is a unique combination, let's just say I wasn't always a preacher. I have a great friend in St. Helens, OR. Spent 6 years in the USMC and was stationed with him. We still keep in touch on Facebook mostly. Hope to go visit someday. Maybe this summer, as he is getting married. Thanks again, have a great day!
