Hello all. I am beginning the process to become an apprentice falconer. I hope to take the exam within a couple of weeks and have started research and design of my mews. I have wanted to do this for years, however I knew with raising a family and work, I would not have been able to devote the time and resources to this. Now the kids are grown and gone and I have ample time to pursue this dream I have had for many years. Any advise, direction or suggestions you may have will be greatly appreciated. Hope to visit with many of you soon

Good advice.....don't try to make an excuse for not making it to the NAFA meet.

to Nafex.............help find a spot for all the campers to stay at during the meet and you'll have more help than you can process.....

Oh, and be sure to sign your posts with your name or the signature police will get ya......

Yeah, do that!

Hey, how big is your yard?

[rhall]

My yard! I would love it. however somedays I have a hard time finding a place to park. Seriously though, I do know of a few campgrounds that are not in the phone book or advertised much. So if you need a place, drop me a PM and I'll see if I can't assist you

It was great to meet you as well Rex. Look forward to watching you make your journey in falconry, and seeing you either in Vernal when I am back visiting (hopefully in a very near summer) or at a future NAFA meet.

Of course, your always welcome to darken my door if you get tired of the sunshine and want a little rain.

We lived in Port Orford Oregon for 7 months in 08. We really miss the rain believe it or not. The coast along Washington and Oregon is by far the most spectacular place Iv'e ever been.

Rex,

I really loved the rain too, until just a few years ago. I was laid off for a few months in the heart of hawking season, and got completely burned out on the rain because most of the times I went out to hunt it was just dumping.

I moved up to WA partly because I had gotten bored of 300+ blue sky days a year. I see the charm in them now though.
