I have had a fantasy, since childhood, of having a falcon on my arm, going out in the woods, and hunting small game.

What does one need to have to seriously, and professionally get started?? As far as gear and shelter, etc. My dream will probably never be fulfilled, but I can always wish!! TIA..sakofan..

Sako,
Start with your local Fish and Game dept. Falconry is the most heavily regulated form of hunting in the U.S. Some states are easier than others, but none is a snap.
