Thank you all very much, I am very impressed with the quick responses I have received. From reading about this lifestyle I got the impression It could be difficult to get with people, felt like people may be standoffish but I am pleased to know that's not the case. I got the chance to talk to someone at length over the phone and I am very excited. Thank you KT for reaching out as well, you and your wife are the closest ones to me so far, my sister in law lives in Westley Chapel and I plan on talking to you soon! I wish I didn't become aware of falconry when the season is closing lol. Thanks again you all are awesome! I plan on getting a copy of North American Falconry and Hunting Hawks, and and the CCH guide (not sure if I have the acronym correct at the moment lol). Need to read!!!!
