pjc Posted September 15, 2009 Report Posted September 15, 2009 Chepstow is proving a problem area, was sat a Magor a while ago and birds were being hit from all directions!

superstar Posted September 15, 2009 Report Posted September 15, 2009 Paul I have lost more birds and had more birds hawked from Chepstow this year than the rest of my time in pigeons put together! So many people go there that the hawks must hang around for the next feed to be put out! Several of my club mates have had the same thing from there this year so avoid it if you can is my advice

superstar Posted September 15, 2009 Report Posted September 15, 2009 Our club has had no birds to send for the last 3 races and Chepstow will have played a big part in that no doubt! You have done well to get most back. Hope you fair better next time, its no fun waiting and wondering when that sort of thing happens all the time
Guest mick bowler Posted September 15, 2009 Report Posted September 15, 2009 do fanciers really still train their YBs this time of year?
pigeonpete Posted September 15, 2009 Report Posted September 15, 2009 do fanciers really still train their YBs this time of year? i will still be training all my latebreds through out the winter :-) and i know the people who win every week still train till last race :-)
basher Posted September 15, 2009 Report Posted September 15, 2009 Look in BHW 7TH AUG letters to editor, fanciers reported a perigrine attack (three seen )also sparrowhawk hope the others make it home pat
Guest strapper Posted September 15, 2009 Report Posted September 15, 2009 do fanciers really still train their YBs this time of year? if you havent raced the rest of the programme they do!...ive had 1 race 2 weeks a go which i won...this week will be my 2nd then a week later the last race my 3rd...hopefully give them some experience for next season.
boxer Posted September 15, 2009 Report Posted September 15, 2009 lost 9 birds from swansea the other day out of 19 been coming home in dribs and drabs NOT A HAPPY BUNNY havent raced this year just trying to get them as far as i can for next year but happy with the birds ive had as they have broken legs etc etc so looks like mr hawk had a field day !!AGAIN!!
Guest cowboy Posted September 15, 2009 Report Posted September 15, 2009 liveing where you live why go to chepstow we all know its a grave yard hawks must hang around all day for the next feed to be put out! so if you all stop going there we might starve them out
