[Ninja-Jon]

I there folks it's me again whilst Ive not been posting been making alot of enquirers and i have come up with this www.flyinghighfalconry.co.uk The fella that runs it is man called Jon Soulsby any you folk heard of him and any comments? Right he as offered me a day out with him on the 22ND October some where up in Wales for a cost of £100.00 I will be the one the novice under the watch-full eye of a experienced falconer doing everything with the hawk. I don't think it sounds to bad what do you lot think? I am planning on going on maybe 10 of these days out where i will be flying the hawk there again under the watch full eye of a experienced falconer i don't think you can beat doing anything practically so i think in my opinion this is well worth the money.This fella as also told me he will help design the mews for the bird will teach me everything a experienced falconer should know so i was thinking of latching on to him for this season am i going in the right direction here folks if not please say so with your reasons. thank you all

hope 100 pounds a day includes food and as much beer as you can drink .
and a trip to the local brothel.... :shock:

I'am sure that there are people on the forum from around your way that will take you out for nothing.

[Dude]

here we dont like to get money from beginners, we just teach them.......for free....our club place the beginners to the nearest falconer to learn and the falconer must teach the guy for free, but many country many fashion :)

Well done Jon your working at it now, but that is quite pricey. Did you check out the IBR (independent bird register) web-site yet? :)

[Ninja-Jon]

Tried several clubs mate but to no avail i have a tel number here of a man called David Owen for the midlands region he never answers the telephone. :(

If I read this correctly, and having looked at his website, it appears to me you are going to pay £100 for a quick introduction to a hawk, a brief explanation of what is entailed and spend the rest of the day out flying/hunting. Now to do that once I am sure that for the uninitiated it will be a good day out but to do it up to 10 times would be a waste of your money as i fail to see just how much you will learn from the repetitive nature. I would have thought that a falconry course would be better value whereby you would learn so much more.

I am quite sure if you show that you are that committed that there will be someone within driving distance of you that will allow you to tag along and carry the ferret box etc for a bit of hunting whilst spending your money on a course that offers a good grounding into this sport

[Dude]

try 2 find someone here at the forum who is near 2 u, I think someone teach u for nothing.falconers are a big family and help each other if they can, thats the situation here in Hungary, I think its the same worldwide.

[Ninja-Jon]

Would be very nice to be offered to go out with a local falconer and learn the ropes but i am not asking. But saying that outlook as offered me a day out in about 6weeks time which i am very grate full of.

[Ninja-Jon]

Sorry Outflying was the falconer i was on about. :oops:

[Kevin Massey]

im sure there are loads of fellow falconers your way that may help you out !!

i would hold out on booking it....see what offers off the kind falconers on the forum come your way

kev

[Kevin Massey]

plus any one willing to spend £1000 on falconry days shows a high level of willing commitment....

have you contacted adrian aswell.....i know its a trek but im sure it would be more worthwhile....

kev

me i would hit the members list on the forum look at all the member close to me then mail or pm them ALL

[Wightwings]

Sorry Outflying was the falconer i was on about. :oops:

save your £100 and take Jim up on this offer, you will learn more in a few hours than in the full day you are paying for.

As for charging that amount, i appreciate soem peeps do this for a living and to charge this for the "pleasure seeker" can be justified. But to charge this to a genuine learner is a bloody rip off.

Too expensive, and you will be a spectator after all, we are you based in Notts, i may be able to put you in touch with a couple of good chaps who will not rip you off and you may learn something at the end of it.

cheers

Remind me around the end of October and you can come out with us for free.

You wont learn **** all but you'll have a laugh :D

Only kidding, hopefully you will see what its all about, good flights and maybe a kill or two. You also might see a few of the things that can go wrong :shock: :D

For that money you could travel down south to the Hawk conservancy and attend a proper course and still have money for your accommodation.
Or travel north and attend Varmints courses and you will also get a far better understanding and grounding than the tosh Mr Soulsby has offered you.
