HOMER49 Posted February 14, 2008 Author Report Posted February 14, 2008 john hunter at one time flew cattryse pigeons and was good at the distance but dont know if he still has them sad to see him go a lot of good pigeons there Hi Sammy Billy King of Newmains is making up the lists of pigeons for Mr Hunter Billy said that Mr Hunter purchased the entire loft of a Mr Toal (not sure about spelling) for Airdrie Do you remember him Sammy ? Anyway Mr Toals pigeons were Jock Reids of Stenhousemuir and these were the birds that are scoring for Mr Hunter Cheers Homer 49

Delboy Posted February 15, 2008 Report Posted February 15, 2008 John Hunter bought the very best 500 mile birds from alot of the top National men in Scotland in the early 90s.I know this because he told me when he came to my place to purchase 3 grand children of Fortune Lady .He is a true gentleman and I am sure there will be a lot of beauties at his sale.In the late 90s,early 2000s, he was a formidable force in the west section of the SNFC.
