I'm with you on that one!! Sure wish I had found it years earlier, too!

Actually this is probably the perfect time to get interested. It works out really well if you can get out in the field with other falconers for a season first, then deal with the sponsor, equipment, test, and facilities the following Spring/Summer, and be ready just in time to trap a bird the following Fall. This is the season to get some face to face time with local falconers, and just look at what everybody else does equipment/training/hunting wise, and study for the test. You're more like to find the right sponsor for you this way as well.
