Getting Started:
If you are interested in becoming a falconer, we recommend becoming a member of the Minnesota Falconers' Association (MFA), and possibly the North American Falconers Association (NAFA). It is the best way to get to know other falconers and ask questions.
For information pertaining to the State of Minnesota including recommended reading, regulations, details on obtaining your license and exam information you may visit the MN DNR website on falconry by clicking here.
Recommended reading include North American Falconry and Hunting Hawks by Frank Beebe and Hal Webster, Falconry: Art and Practice by Emma Ford, The Falconer's Apprentice by William Oakes, The Red-tailed Hawk by Liam McGranaghan, Falconry and Hawking by Phillip Glasier, and Falconry Equipment by Bryan Kimsey and Jim Hodge. Another great publication is American Falconry Magazine, along with the newsletters and annual journal of NAFA.
We hope to see you at one of our future events!
