Falconry Anonymous
Are there any falconers out there? I've been thinking about getting into falconry but I can't find ANYBODY in my area online, and all the falconry forums I've looked at were full of illiterate, drooling retards...

Anyway, falconry looks very interesting to me, and I understand it can take upwards of 5-7 years to actually be able to do it properly. I figure it'd be worth it though. It'd be really awesome to hunt coyotes with a Golden Eagle, although that's not possible as you couldn't fly a Golden here in the foothills of Kentucky. I can dream, though, and rabbits with a Red-Tailed Hawk are just as good, just means I'll have to shoot the coyotes myself as the coyote population around here are out of control and keep killing and eating everyone's pets and livestock...

You must be thinking of the Bald Eagle.

You could use a Harpy Eagle and hunt small children instead.

Easiest way to success at Google is to type in "(state/province you live in) falconers association." It is really not as rare as it seems, you just have to keep prying. Your state/province's conservation department may be able to help you locate them, as they are considered hunters. It is a time-consuming hobby and will take commitment on your part. Apprenticeship takes roughly two years, it takes about seven or more to become a Master.

It sounds like you are wanting a tenacious bird, not just a normal red-tail. I would recommend researching Harris's Hawk, they are "pack animals" and very social and willing to please.

Steller's Sea Eagle. Top that, it's still around and it's fucking enormous.
