Haha. Well, it's not the easiest sport to get into. You have to find a licensed falconer willing to take you on as their apprentice for two years. You must pass a written exam, and have your facilities/equipment inspected by the USFWS. Your sponsor guides you along with your first bird(s) for at least two years, when you're eligible to upgrade to "general".
It is a life-consuming "hobby". From Oct through March, I take my hawk hunting almost every day. And, there's constant feeding and care through the off season.
