Bonnie, Welcome to the community. May I ask who your sponsor is? I'm in touch with all of the NH falconers. I hope you enjoy the journey of becoming licensed. This fall, once hunting season starts, come on over to the coast of Maine and join me for some duck hawking. In addition to networking yourself among the falconers in NH, and joining their state club, I would suggest that you consider joining the North American Falconers' Association. Please feel free to call or write me if you want to talk about joining, or why it's important.
