ok roland think we need closure here ,this post reeks of ego and shows blatant disregard for the pigeons,thats what got my back up.why not basket the pigeons overnight at home ? do this a few times then let them out in the loft to put some confidence in them before the transporter opens and all hell breaks loose,whats wrong with 1 mile tosses ? get them used to things, build their confidence.everyone has seen the stress youngsters have when first put in a basket,but thats gone by the third time.why such open disregard ? because they,re only latebreds so who cares ? is that it ? if i was running this site this post would be removed for showing the sport in an unacceptable light and i would ask mr whoever to do his toe dipping in private.why highlight the fact no basket training was given ?this post is all about the fancier and is another nail in the coffin it makes a mockery of scottish pigeon racing,forgive me if i,m taking the future of the sport too seriously,this guy isnt a fancier he,s a novice trying to look like a fancier and he should be brought to heel,the silence from the members on here is deafening.
