- I'm looking for information on getting into falconry in New Jersey.
- I have already encountered some falconers from the central part of the state
- who were hunting hawks in a field area near my home, so I know the sport does
- exist here.
-
- I live in a fairly rural area, within a few hundred yards of fields, marsh,
- a creek, and woodlands. Large open sand/gravel pits are also situated nearby.
- So, finding places to hunt a hawk would not be difficult. My family has a
- former chicken coop with a 5.5-foot-high enclosed pen which could probably be
- easily adapted to house a raptor.
-
- Therefore, the things I most need information on:
-
- What are the requirements to become a falconer in New Jersey?
- How does one acquire a raptor? (I'm clueless, here :)
-
- Thanks,
- -Shag
