Hi Kelsey,

Are you by chance related Boo Radley? Brother maybe?

Just curious.

Welcome Dana! Thanks for the introduction, a surefire way to not be mistaken as an AI Bot! It sounds like you have great qualifications, keep us posted on your season.

Excellent podcast Ricardo, I enjoyed yours and Ed's interviews very much.

Welcome! I'm surprised to hear that game populations are thriving in your area, I haven't heard any good news in that respect in a long time. First rule of falconry: If you have good game...

Hi Kevin,

Welcome to NAFEX and the wonderful world of falconry. With regard to your parrot there are a lot of falconers who also have parrots and I've never heard of any parrot having issues with...

Here's the latest:

"Judge O’Neill found that licensed falconers have a First Amendment right to express themselves with their raptors that is subject to the strictest constitutional scrutiny."

Great memory Dan, thanks for sharing.

Ron,
Hopefully the bickering Bickersons will stop bickering soon, but given their name it's doubtful!

What do I think? I ran for NAFA Mtn director in 2010, I'm sure a couple of folks who were on NAFEX back then might remember, Eric Tabb ran against me, I ran partly because of all the shit and...

There's a person, I hesitate to call them a falconer, on Facebook who has an axe to grind with the evil empire, oh sorry, I mean NAFA. I thought in the spirit of open discussion I'd post his...

No Geoff, you said that the " the US FWS expressly retained the ability to perform their own enforcement activities, including inspections," which is wrong. Here's the register comments that you...

No, the USFWS turned all of the inspections over to the state, no where do they expressly retain the ability to perform their own inspections. This was one of the big changes that came about in...

Hi Geoff,

Could you post a link, or the text from your state regs that specify that LE must have a warrant? I think that could be very useful. Thanks.

Chi, dude, expand your thoughts a little bit, and think this through. If this rehabber has it out for falconers you had better believe that the state G&F is well aware of her and her hatred of...

Exactly, and this cuts directly to the heart of the matter, the AFC sees falconry as a God given right, and the US government sees it as a privilege which can only be legally practiced by those who...

That's correct, falconry is a privilege because to do it legally you need to have a permit, just like driving.

A privilege is a certain entitlement to immunity granted by the state...

Hi Dan,

I think NAFA's membership is at 1900 out of about 4300 licensed falconers in the US.

Falconry isn't a right, it's a privilege. What is a right is the right to pursue falconry, to get a falconry license, but once you have that license you must comply with the rules, or laws governing...

So what are the possible outcomes if the PLF wins in California and the courts rule these falconry inspections are illegal? I would hazard a guess that either falconry would become illegal in CA...
