Ever considered having a falconry meet for the members of this site? It'd take some planning but I bet we could pull it off. Feel free to shoot it down FB or Alex but it is a possibility.
Best bet is to get together at the NAFA meets. At least it is a set meeting and even if nobody from the list does show up, you are still surrounded by falconers......

Nope, It is still at Vernal as it is the best place for the meet. Next year was changed from Colorado to Nebraska. The lineup for the meets goes like this. Vernal Utah 05', Kearny Nebraska 06', Somewhere in Colorado 07', Amarillo Texas 08'.

Nafa meets might be difficult for some people. I think another way to meet fellow forum members is to have somewhat regional meets. What I mean is this: when a certain state has their meet, all the forum members in neighboring states go. Utah may be an issue for those close to the east coast or those who can't just run away from their families on Thanksgiving, since that's when it's always held. And if you can't make it to the Nafa meet everyone is always welcome to the Texas Meet!!
what's rong with the east cost??? abundant in squirrles and small mice!!!

The members of this board are rather scattered so somewhere in the middle is a good compromise. I see the year of the '08ness being a good one.
Never settle.
