Mini Meets
Mini
meets are local meets provided by individual members.
Often a falconer from one area of the state would
like to meet other falconers, see other types of birds
flown, hunt different game or find more abundant game
but does not know who to contact. GFA will list any mini
meet a member would like to announce. Mini meets do not
have to be big or well attended. Two or three falconers
could
have a mini meet. If you have a Mini meet you would like
to list contact the Webmaster.
Please take into consideration GFA annual events when scheduling
and provide the necessary information as early as possible.
Consider
having your mini meet on
a certain weekend annually so more falconers can plan to
attend
Waverly Hall GFA Mini-Meet
Those of you that missed the meet missed
a good time. On Saturday, Jim Blackwell and Jordan Turner
took their birds with one group and Larry Mullis took his
bird with another group. This group had 21 people
and we don't know how many were in the other one. We don't
have
an accurate
total count, but there was somewhere around 40 - 50
people in attendance on Saturday. We had lots of visitors
and they all had a good time. The weather was good. We
didn't find a lot of squirrels, but our birds put on
a
show for
guests.
The other group had a Flying Squirrel, a Fox Squirrel
and a Grey squirrel all trying to get in the same nest
to get
away from the bird. Sunday, Jim Blackwell's
bird decided she could get around on the ground faster
than
in the air. Everyone had a good laugh off her antics.
Ronnie and the rest of our hosts
were most gracious and enjoyed hunting with us. They
are planning on our coming back next year.
