What part of Kansas are you in. They do have a falconry club there in that state. The people are really friendly you might check. I have a friend who lives in the eastern central part.
Got my packet but still need to find a sponsor, seems to be a pain here in Kansas to get started.
I guess after telling you about the Kansas falconry club I learned they are not active on the web right now, and there seems to be something going on with them. I use to have some names of members that might help you, I'll see if I can find them from several years back.
