FairPlay to you for asking for a mentor mate, I've just started getting into falconry and lucky for me my mate (mentor) lives only 5 mins from me, he has over 10 years experience with various birds of prey, mainly being Harris hawks, I've been surprised just how much I've learned from him in a short space of time, I hope you find someone local to you because it's a great sport to get into. Good luck

That's a nitemare mate! Is there not a falconry club you could join near you? Then hopefully meet someone through that way? I'm going to go to a falconry club for the first time on Tuesday with my mate.
