    I am a falconer with a lapsed license and I am in the Philippines til next February so not much help. I can help you with the exam in about a year if you are still into it. Or you might try contacting the ODWC and requesting a list of current falconers. If that doesn't work I know that the most vid falconers in the Tulsa area also belong to the Scottish or Mideval type clubs- maybe try The Castle in Muscogee for info on these. Passage Redtails are very easy to trap in the fall and are a blast to hunt with. I rarely failed to catch rabbits with mine and once Max caught a six foot corn snake and a lost wallet in about 30 minutes! I'm sure you know that all raptors are protected and steep penalties await those in possession of one without licensing. It is well worth the effort tho- until you get too old and deaf to hear the bells; bummer.

    Good luck and feel free to pm me. Once you have located a falconer who is willing to take you on as an apprentice he will lead you thru the maze.

    No, I am from the Tulsa area- born and raised. Wish I knew someone there to steer you in the right direction. I will tell you this, just to whet your appetite. 30 days after you trap your passage (first year) redtail you should be ready to turn him loose outside with no creance or leash of any kind and have him fly to your fist instead of fly away. A week later you should be out hunting together- or really he is hunting while you do all the work beating brush.
