I am new to the board and just getting interested in falconry. Any other oregonians out there that would take me out with them so I can see a bird in action and possibly sponsor?

Since my post I have found a sponsor and am going out with him this evening to watch him fly his bird. Lucky dog has a 100 acre field bordered by timber behind his house that he has access to.

I got on Oregon Falconers Association and found two guys in my town listed sa possible sponsors. called the guy, he invited me out to his place and I was talking to him and his wife for about three hours. Really nice guy. Got to see his coop fly.

The falconer community is pretty small... Someone who knows someone who knows someone who knows someone. Just because they aren't on this site, doesn't mean someone doesn't know him.
My sponsor isn't on this site but others on the site know him

Maybe I don't like giving out personal information being that I'm new. Besides why are you jumping in. Chris asked me a question that didn't involve you so don't get invovled, please. I have a hard time with people doing that.

I wasn't getting "involved" I was just stating why he was curious. Okay so you don't like sharing information.. that's fine.
**EDIT**
It's just, the falconry community is very tightly knit, and it can be hard finding a niche to fit in... I should know... People are just trying to bring you in to some new friendships and be friendly.

Rob, No problem,,,just thought I'd ask. I spent a couple of seasons up ther working at a propogation project, and ended up making a few friends in the OFA and even had the pleasure of joining there club and attending a few club activities. Pretty good group of folks up there....just thought perhaps I might know your new sponsor, and thought I might have you say hi for me,,,thats all. Im just killing time at work, wishing I was out hawking!! Good luck

No problem Chris, I just don't know if he would like me posting his name on the internet. I have no problem with you asking, I just had a problem with Morgan getting involved. I'll pm you the name.

Robruger, id advise you to chill... morgan was just curious, dont get mad or angry becuase he was. as for oregon... i have family in portland, what part are you in?
hello folks, i figured i would post here since the title fits me... i have been studying like crazy but would love to be able to talk to someone about this and if possible see a bird out in the field... i want to make sure i am not getting myself in over my head.. i am also contacting the OFA to see if they can point me in the right direction. thanks
that is AMAZING... but good on you!
