Looking for a Sponsor (Southern California)

[JapaneseShiba]

I live in Southern California (Orange County) and have been looking for a sponsor to each me the ropes! :D I took the Fish and Game Falconry Exam in March and passed it! I am really interested in getting into falconry and can't wait to start! I am willing to learn and take advise and :!: I promise I won't be a waste of time :!:

I have e-mailed Bob Armsbruster from the California Hawking Club a few days ago, but he has not yet contacted me back and my friend advised me to try my luck here! :P

If anyone can help me out or have advise, feel free to e-mail me!

Hoping for an answer back,

Sounds like you are on the right track. In California they require you to take the test first and then look for a sponsor, so joining the club is an excellent idea. There are several falconers from california on the forum I moderate and there is also a few on another list I visit quite often.

I have been trying to at least get some names and talk to other falconers, but even that came up to a 0. I just called Bob Armbruster from the California Hawking Club in hopes of finding a potential sponsor and he said he will call me back in a day or two...

If anyone has any words of advise, I will gladly take 'em! :yawinkle:

Words of advise.....Keep on doing what you are doing......Pester the heck out of them. Remember, they are used to wannabees trying to get into the sport all the time and are only interested in the persistant ones who are determined to get in.
