Hey! Im taking my exam at the end of the summer. How difficult was it when you took it?

@@MadiChampagne Well it was about as hard as I expected. Look at the quizlet flashcards online for it. Those are pretty close to it. But you're gonna get quizzed on equipment, hunting /flight styles the most. Bird anatomy was pretty light. If you do the flashcards and read a few short falconry books you should be fine. I read - Falconer's apprentice, four fundamentals of falconry, the red tailed hawk, and a couple others but the quizlet flashcards are enough to pass.

@@codycox2685 Would you mind providing me with the link to the Quizlet you're referring to?

@@MadiChampagne google - Quizlet falconry exam. Several will pop up and they're all pretty much the same. I didn't stay with a particular one. I would get good at one and then try the next one so I got exposed to lot's of questions. You'll quickly see how similar they are once you dive in. Pick one and roll with it Madi. But don't neglect the actual books, which is what will lead to you actually understanding all the flashcard shit you memorized :)

@@MadiChampagne You need to really really understand the differences between Accipiters, Falcons, and Buteos without simply memorizing them. Then move on to what they eat and how each hunts. After that I would suggest developing an understanding of the required gear, then move on to the actual care and husbandry, which was surprisingly the least touched topic in the test.

Study study study. I'm sure you will make it.

I'm sure they are out there some where but the books I mentioned will get you through.

Was good to meet you.

I already had some of the materials and did the work myself. Cash outlay maybe 800

While checking out those books dont forget to check out your local falconry association to be able to get to know some of them. One of the best ways to find a sponsor. Good luck on your test and to your adventure in falconry. Its alot of fun.

I'm way up in north Ga. Have you checked out the Georgia Falconry Association?

It is multiple choice

Shouldn't have to most states reciprocate but to be sure you would need to check with the state you are moving to.

When you call to schedule your test. Ask for a list of falconers in your area. You can also check out the Florida falconery clubs.

I know it has been 4 years since this comment. Were you able to find a sponsor in Fl?

No problem. Looks like you had a killer time up there by the vids. That's a cool place to be.

I took the test at the Gainesville branch office of the Georgia department of natural resources.

Georgia Mountain Outdoors thanks for the reply

@@georgiamountainoutdoors8538 Is there any where to take a test or to find a sponsor around California

@@dfuzesl4yerz71 I would start with the California Falconry Association. They will be able to help in finding a sponsor and will be able to help with testing locations.

@@georgiamountainoutdoors8538 thank you very much!!

In saltwater, offshore I still use my seaghost. I know several that use there maverick and love it. The only real disadvantage I can think of is the waves coming over the top from the side, but that is with all kayaks. Inshore I use the maverick I like the open deck space.

I never leave the channels and inlet so I guess either one would suit me..the only downside I see to the hybrid is wind catching it because it just rides on top of the water

I dont have it insulated. In the wild they are not insulated. In the muse they do have shelter and have a wind block

The listed price is $899 at Vibe Kayaks web site and most of there dealers.

Zatch 101 good luck!im planning taking the test next year and having the same problem. I know in my state they have hawk meetups and groups so maybe you can find one there?

California hawkers guide. There study guide is great. I really do need to make another video on that subject.

@@georgiamountainoutdoors8538 thanks man I actually have the book order good to hear that is a good book I will be waiting for moar videos be nice talk about what Cain of cuestion we should be prepared thanks for the imfo

There's an apprentice study guide. Go to the California Hawking club website, you should be able to order it from there

I believe every US falconer needs a copy of North American falconry and hunting hawks by Bebe & Webster.

I've got the apprentice study guide ( www.mikesfalconry.com/Apprentice-Study-Guide-p/4000.htm ) recommended by my potential sponsor. He also strongly suggested reading The Red-Tailed Hawk by Liam J. McGranaghan ( www.mikesfalconry.com/The-Red-Tailed-Hawk-p/4003.htm). I've not regretted my purchases so far.

I have done some fly fishing. Love those smaller streams.

Thanks for the reply.I just got a board for fishing. I'm loving it so far. Once i get everything the way I want it then I will bring my fly rod along.

I looked at alot of them when planning mine. Thats why I wanted to put it on here to give others that was in my shoes more food for thought. Thanks for the comment. The equipment room is working out nice.

@@georgiamountainoutdoors8538 I don't usually give advice, but I think I should in your case. When you free loft birds, they tend to get restless. They're going to fly around and if you only have two perches, they're going to get bored with those and start landing on the ground, the ledge where you're vertical bars are and possibly start dulling their talens. I would recommend putting a couple more perches higher up, the like that. Just something to think about. OSH :-)

I am behind on my vids. Sorry about that. California hawking club. There study guide. Georgia falconry associations study guide.

@@georgiamountainoutdoors8538 ok awesome, and with those 2 you passed?? I just want to make sure I get what I need to pass haha

I read alot of stuff on the net but that is what I studied. I also read a book called the red tailed hawk. It's good for the actual training and I guess it reinforce what's in the other 2 books
