I have dropped from 136 birds to 62 . I had a really bad toss from 35 miles and lost over 40 that day. I'm at the 35 mile drop and will stay thee for a while till I get closer to race season.
If you ever go to EClocks make sure you are there when they assign the chips to the bird. If the chip is someone elses it will say this band belongs to Joe Smo and you know the guy took it off a bird and is now trying to use it. Let them explain that :-)
Today the Birds had to race the clouds at Sunrise Toss,They did make good time and did beat the clouds :-) Made some good Photos. All The Syndicate birds are still in the loft.
Treat for Respatory and get back on the road. Mine will go every day its not raining and will stop going out after the did 1 75 mile toss, will cut back to just 2-35 mile and 1-50 a week after that
I would hate to drop a whole team for the lack of a PMV shot, I do all the Ybs in my lofts they also get a POX vac just to save the hassle of they getting it and the mess it can cause
