ok, i will have my sister look for me. i have contacted me state and am waiting for my free packet. i will contact some of the falconers on the list like you said i should. i never thought of that, when i was researching online, which i know is not always correct, and it said that its better to get your license first because it showes your future sponsor that you are really serius but i am not sure how true that is because the internet is not always trust worthy.
You CANNOT get a license without a sponsor or having facilities . You can take the test without a sponsor but cannot get licensed without one.

if you were truly interested and your parents are supportive, they should have no problem ordering you a book to read with the chore money you saved up, otherwise do it the old fashion way and get a money order and order it through regular mail.
ok, how could i order through the mail. i might get my mom to order it but the information on the ordering it through the mail would still be good for future reference
print out an order form from the supplier you buy it from and mail it to them with your money order. do kids these days with all the technology out there not know how the postal service works anymore?
I know how to use the Postal service but I have had awful luck with them loosing my letters and things never gettin to me or to some one I sent it too. The flat rate boxes are great price wise but seem to take ages to get to the place you want them too. I tend to use UPS or FedEx any more to many bad experiences with USPS.

how would you get one without a printer,because i don't own a printer

with that reply you are not showing you are that interested in falconry. get a piece of paper and make out your own order form.
I have to agree somewhat here with Rob ... If you can't figure out how to order a simple book on your own , The care and husbandry of a wild Raptor shouldn't be on your radar. Trust me when I say a $35 printer isn't even a drop in the bucket of the initial expense of housing & caring for a raptor. The initial cost of acquiring the housing and equipment needed just to pass the inspection can be well over $1000 and that's if you are capable of building a Mews on Your own . Paying someone to build it for you , will double that figure fast . Their care and well being will require a good amount of problem solving that goes way above figuring out how to purchase a study guide. A sponsor will not be there every second you have a question . Just about any would be sponsor isn't looking for a new apprentice, You have to impress them with your personal drive and willingness to do things for yourself . This includes studying and researching falconry from notable sources. When I was 11 I had subscriptions to comic books and magazines that I had ordered myself , way before computers or the World Wide Web. Picking up a phone and placing an order is quite a rudementary task in our modern society . If you can't work out that , you need to slow way down on this until you can figure those things out...
As was pointed out before. If your family truly supported you in this endeavor, I doubt these kinds of question would have even arose . Wait for your packet to arrive in the mail , study/ memorize it front to back and if you accomplish that , then think about buying a printer from Walmart and ordering a few books. After you've read the books an can recite the information in them, start next fall going on hunts with falconers to see what it truly entails in your everyday life ...

Colorado has 2 very active state clubs. Just as an FYI, in my experience there, you will find highly differing opinions between the two about just about everything.

I am new to falconry and want to learn more. Is there a monthly meet up or hunt where I could talk to other falconers and sponsors and see if becoming an apprentice is the right move? I am based in Nashville.

Nashville TN? I am a local falconer in Nashville TN, we don't have monthly meets but those of us around TN do try to hunt 3-5 days a week weather permitting... Our TN Falconers Assoc meet is in Whitebluff TN in 2 weekends- feb19-21 and we are inviting interested parties to join us ... Send me a PM with your information - age, current living situation, any outdoors / hunting experience, and your goals or interest in falconry - and I would be willing to meet with you and discuss it further .
