Time Spent With Sponsors

[colby]

I don’t have many falconers put where I live, and am not sure if I will be able to find anyone very close to me to sponsor me. (In northwest Washington) There are a few people who may be able to sponsor me about an hour south. I’m curious, how often is time spent with your sponsor as an apprentice? If its a lot of time then people that far away might not be very convenient sponsors for me. Any answers are appreciated!

It all depends on the relationship you have with your individual sponsor and the quality of your aptitude. 
This is a time demanding sport. If you only have a few hours each day to yourself, this is not the sport for you. In terms of the actual time spent hanging out with your sponsor, there is no required amount and most communication can be done over phone. I would recommend either finding someone closer to you or taking the responsibility and time necessary to visit your mentor and participate in this sport.
