I am in Clermont which is 20ish miles east of Orlando.
Just getting started. I have found a sponsor, and taken my test. Plan on having my inspection done and my application in by August and hopefully be trapping this fall.
Hi, folks. I'm permanently based in Reno, NV, but will be in Florida (Sarasota and Gainesville) for this hunting season. Anyone else particularly near those two locations, or know of anyone nearby? I'd really like to find someone around; I currently have no birds but way too much bird food, and am looking for someone who could use it!

My name is Eros and I'm from Port Richey Florida, about 35 minutes from Tampa. I've been looking to get into falconry, however no one around here shares the same passion for Birds Of Prey. I would love to talk falconry with you Florida residence. Feel free to PM me or email me at Duc996NYC@aol.com

Hey everyone, I've been peeking at this site for over a month now. You all have been very helpful to me in getting through the logistics of getting my permit here in Florida. I lucked into finding a sponsor who lives very close. I am in the north part of the state between Gainesville and Lake City in a little town called Worthington Springs. I've passed the test and am working on inspections. I'll probably miss trapping season, but it's great to get the ball rolling. I've been wanting to do this since college. Jax and Clay folks, have you ever hunted the WMAs like Camp Blanding or Jennings?
tiercel78 lives in Jacksonville and might could show you a few spots. He is in the Navy and will be on an aircraft carrier for a few more months so will be gone through the hunting season. He would probably be a good person to talk with though.

Hello all, I live in New Port Richey and am just starting out. I really don't even know where to begin but I am sure that I will soon find out. If anyone is close to my area and wants to help me out, please let me know. Thanks!!
Unfortunately there aren't many members on the boards from central or south Florida, although I think their numbers are greater in that part of the state then up north where I am. There is tons of info here on the site but your best bet for finding someone locally is to go through one of the clubs in FL.
Good luck and don't be afraid to ask questions. ;D
