that statement about kbirds are not true, read the training threads on them. i would personally suggest a rt, easier to manage, and all that rot. if you read around on the forum you ought to get enough info to make that decision for yourself
2010 season: Firefly- daisy cutting rhab peregrine, problem child Caspian- tiercel lanner, and hopefully a high flying killer
Well, I'm still leaning toward the RT, because they are easier to handle, and we have lots of jackrabbits to hunt here. However, I do enjoy watching the Kbird fly at Sparrows and other small birds. Also, I would love to enter some of the ski trials, (not that either the RT or Kbird would win, but just to compete) and it sounds like the Kbird would be better at that aspect of the sport. I'll have to wait and see what my sponsor has to say, and go from there. Thanks for the input.
Pre-pre-apprentice. Live in Copperton, Much closer to the foot of the Kennecott Mine than Harriman. Lots of RT's last year, but I think all the development in the area is pushing them away. Anyhow, Hi to everyone.
Just checking in from Northern Utah. Started falconry in 1990 and took a couple the last couple of years off but I am starting again this year. Kept me licenses current in anticipation of this.
That was smart of you. I started falconry before you needed a license (i was 2 years old for all you smart @$%*s out there), quit for a few years, got licensed, quit again, and went through it another time. I'll keep my licenses forever this time!

That's for sure. A few $ each year to keep everything current was well worth not having to go through the process again.

I'm glad this thread has recent replies so I'm not performing thread necromancy. I live in Salt Lake and am looking to get into falconry. I'm wondering if anyone is doing any flying that I could come watch, talk to you, etc. I probably won't actually start the licensing process for a year or two, as I want to make sure I have enough time and money available to do it properly, but I'd like to get as much information about it as possible. I've already read through the California Apprentice Manual about 20 times, so I at least have some idea of what it might involve. Any help or information would be greatly appreciated.
Don't know if anyone is flying right now, most birds are up in the moult. But PM me and I can get you the info to some of the education and rehab people around here.

Utah is a great falconry state, I flew a kestrel there my whole apprenticeship, and then Prairie Falcons the last couple years before I moved to Arizona.
Utah has a great club, and fun activities, make sure you go to skytrails and the winter fest! My sponsor runs the Winter fest. Good luck!
