Hi everyone, I'm chris, and I'm interested in getting started falconing. I am 16 and live in Virginia. I first took up interest in falconry after reading "My Side of the Mountain" by Jean Craighead George. I am a hunter as it is, so having a bird to hunt with would be an awesome challenge. It would be awesome to get an apprenticeship. I was informed about y'all from one of the guys at Raptor Repertoire. Thanks, chris.
What part of virginia?
Hi Chris and welcome aboard. Good luck on getting your quest under way. I hope to hear soon that you have a sponsor and have met all the requirements . Good luck
I'm in Virginia beach.Quote:

Chris, contact the Virginia Falconers Association and I am sure they will help you get started. They had a meet last weekend in Harrisonburg and I believe they have another in Winchester in February. You should try to attend and meet some of them.
Ok, you're not too far away either Fred. Only a couple hours' drive.
I don't live in VA but my uncle does and I go up there sometimes. I am not a falconer yet but am on my way!
Nice, how hard is apprenticing to be a falconer?
