Apprentice Falconry Falconry Meet?

[SkyRider]

Hey guys,

Ever considered having a falconry meet for the members of this site? It'd take some planning but I bet we could pull it off. Feel free to shoot it down FB or Alex but it is a possibility.

Maybe, one day. The majoritey of the Texas Hawkers have already met each other. I know that if I travel to another state im definitly going to say hi.

But right now I dont think it will really work because we live so far apart and it would cost us thousands of dollars just to say hi.

I would love to do a huge get together someday though.

Best bet is to get together at the NAFA meets. At least it is a set meeting and even if nobody from the list does show up, you are still surrounded by falconers......

[Falcon Boy]

That was my plan. If i can pull off getting there this year, i will set up a little meeting sorta deal so we can all meet face to face.

[SkyRider]

That'd be sweet. Where would we have it though? We need lots of open land and game

[Falcon Boy]

Well i was thinking if we did it at the NAFA meet we could set up a time/place to meet, then try to get into the same hawking party.

Did the meet get changed from Vernal? I remember hearing something about that

[Weasel]

Nope, It is still at Vernal as it is the best place for the meet. Next year was changed from Colorado to Nebraska.
The lineup for the meets goes like this. Vernal Utah 05', Kearny Nebraska 06', Somewhere in Colorado 07', Amarillo Texas 08'.

[SkyRider]

Not in Montana!? Oh well. I'm gonna try to make it to the Vernal meet this year. ;D

[alex2]

Texas in 08?

I might go to that one.

Nafa meets might be difficult for some people. I think another way to meet fellow forum members is to have somewhat regional meets. What I mean is this: when a certain state has their meet, all the forum members in neighboring states go. Utah may be an issue for those close to the east coast or those who can't just run away from their families on Thanksgiving, since that's when it's always held. And if you can't make it to the Nafa meet everyone is always welcome to the Texas Meet!!

what's rong with the east cost??? abundant in squirrles and small mice!!!

The members of this board are rather scattered so somewhere in the middle is a good compromise. I see the year of the '08ness being a good one.

I am just kidding the middles the best spot! why can't we be like New Zealand which probably dosnt allow falconry anyways... it's nice and small! dosn't take 6 days to go Cross country it takes two and All the scenery is AWSOME!
