Where and how to get a falcon
#1
I know this isn't really fishing related, but I'm hoping someone here can help me out.

I am interested in taking up falconry, and I don't know where to start. As far as applying for a permit, finding a bird, etc.

If anyone knows any website or contacts, please let me know, it would be most appreciated.

i would think the place to start would be a call or a visit to the department of natural resources about 1600 W. north temple also try typing in falconry clubs and you will get alot of hits

Carol's brother does falconry, here in this area. Carol's email is [url "mailto:jacobsenc@cvwrf.org"]jacobsenc@cvwrf.org[/url]. Send a message to her and she can put you in touch with him. By the way, does this blonde ever land the fish? I've been watching for an hour and she's still reeling. She hasn't even slowed down...

Hope this helps moby!

1. Establish a sponsor (a list may be obtained through the DWR).
2. Pass the Utah Falconry exam w/ a score 80% or higher.
3. Have your falconry facilities inspected by DWR personal.
4. Submit an application for a Falconry Certificate of Regristration (COR).
5. Apply for a Federal Falconry Permit through the USFWS.

With all these steps completed, you may then purchase a Raptor Capture Permit.

Also, refer to the DWR website - www.wildlife.utah.gov
