i have been looking for a sponsor for a while now. and i live in holiday Utah, and i am 16 years old, i still need to take the test but i should have no problem with that seeing as i have read many books on falconry as well as have read the Utah division of wildlife resources packet on falconry. Seeing as how the trapping season is over and doesn't start until September i would think that if i could get a sponsor that we would have quite a bit of time to set up for the season. anyways thanks.

As I mentioned in my email to you today I'll keep my ears open and ask a few of my friends if they have any openings for another apprentice.

I don't know of anyone that will sponsor. Everyone is full or just not sponsoring. I asked one friend of mine but he recently stopped practicing falconry all together because of the expense and released his bird. Come to Winterfest (tomorrow, March 8th) and see if anyone that shows up will sponsor you. If you need the address you can get it from the posting under Meets and Events.

the only reasons why i posted them is becasue a. they are on the sponsor list.... b. if they arent people who should be teaching apprentices then should i not ask for help? c. if say one of them has recently stopped falconry becaasue of the death of a bird or somethign personal. it would be best to avoid a confrontation, invoked by myself because that could lead to a bad reputation.
i see where you are coming from and you are probably right that i should not have posted them. thanks for the tip

It's ok dac....it is a public list that Utah falconers put themselves on if they are willing to sponsor an apprentice so it's all ok.

No, leave it. They put themselves on a public sponsor list and this is a public forum so it is fine!
