As in the birds? You go through an apprenticeship for that? Someone just recently posted that they were going to get into falconry (flying birds of prey), I had no idea that is was so stuctured. Do you have a falcon/ hawk? Any pictures?
 
Yes very regulated you have to pass a test. Then build your mews, get an apprenticeship for two years. If your sponsor gives you the ok he has sing your equipment inspection report mail it to fish and game and finally you get you permit to trap your bird.:nilly::WHOA::screwy:
 
yeah it is crazy strict. I want to get into it but there is just too many regulations that I simply do not have time for. Let me know how it turns out.
 
My bro and I are looking to get into it the near future. We have been researching it for a couple years now and just have to graduate college so we have enough time.
 
I have been working on it for two years, but being at college is kinda hard to be a falconer because I live on campus. I even thought about asking the school if I could put a portable mews back in the woods behind my school! It would have been perfect because we have like 60 acres of flush forest! Anyway, good luck. Make sure u got plenty of money saved up and start going to meets or hunting with local falconers otherwise they will make your time with them hard.. believe me lol
 
Thats a good website...
