Hey Rocky, Here are a couple links that will help you get on your way. The first is of the North Carolina Falconers Guild website. It has most the information you will need to pursue this great passion. The second is a link that describes a workshop the NCFG is having in April, where you will be able to meet some of our members and other folks interested in becoming an apprentice and learn a great deal about what it takes to be a falconer in NC. You will also be able to chat with our president and find out some of the folks from over your way.

Rocky,
Welcome to NAFEX. Dont hesitate to ask any questions. The Nc work shop will be a great start for sure. They are great guys up there.

I live in South Carolina and am up in NC a lot. I am heading that way tomorrow to do a demonstration at a local college with a friend named Chip Gentry. He lives in Lillington. Not sure how far that is from you but you are more than welcome to come watch.

good luck and welcome
