Hey I live in Poulsbo washington, and was wondering if anyone out there had any info on how to get the information i need to become an apprentice. I emailed the washington department of fish and wildlife and they havent emailed back yet. so if anyone has an apprentice study guide or a list of washington sponsers and there emails it would be much appreciated.( I took a mock test with hardly any knowledge of falconry and got a 17 out of 102 ) so as you can see I need a lot of work! HELP ME!
PS: My family is in the process of moving right now and we are building a new house that wont be done for another 9 or 10 months and with the house we are building a real nice mew( the only problems are we dont have a clue what one looks like or how to build one ) so if you have any plans or instruction or pictures I would REALLY appreciate it! thanks
HOLY COW! ....we are like only an hour apart! Poulsbo is on the kitsap pennisula just a ferry ride away from you! Thanks for all the info. So how long have you been interested in falconry? When do you plan on getting a bird? do you have a sponser?
Sorry if I havent mentioned it im kinda new........ I dont know what rabbit fest is, but if you could give me some more info on it like the times and where and what it is then I would probly go
its a the state falconry meet this timea year. they named it Rabbit Fest. [probably in a shallow hope to have rabbits... lol]
and you now know all that i know on that subject! they havnt said anymore details about it, it will probably come out in the mail, if so, ill scan it and PM you a link to a picture of it or something.
How far is Poulsbo from Silverdale? One of my sponsors lives in Silverdale (the other is in Mexico at the moment), maybe you could go hawking with us sometime. I'm in Seattle.

wow again ...... I just moved from silverdale a few months ago! right now where I am in Poulsbo silverdale is about 10 minutes away(which is like nothing cuz I went to school in poulsbo when I lived in silverdale so its like a short ride for me) Oh and to answer your question poulsbo is about 6 miles away from silverdale. I would LOVE to go hawking with you guys! I am NOT one of those wannabes who have no respect for falconers or their birds. I have the utmost respect for someone who has suscessfully trained a wild killing machine! So if you dont know Im travis, what kind of bird or birds does the sponsor in silverdale have?
Yes, Alki is my pmrt (passage male redtail). My sponsor Wendy has a male redtail as well, Arizona. She has been looking for a prairie falcon for the past few weeks but couldn't find any passage. Maybe next weekend we can set something up. I'm sure Wendy wouldn't mind giving you a ride if you can get to her house. Matt you're invited anytime. Oh yeah, my name is Aurelia.
