1St 2010 Strike, B*****D Peregrine.

[alex wight]

Well folks i now join the growing number of fanciers to be hit by bops for 2010. I let my young guns out at 6.00.00am and by 6.00.10am i saw the strike happen. However my pigeon either got away and tried to get home, or numb nuts dropped him, as an ex fancier picked my pigeon up in a car park, dead. I,ve had a good look at the damage and its done and even if he got back home he would have never survived. was 29 now 28. I,m not even going to bother getting wound up about them, because we all know where we stand with regards to these murdering b******s, and the supporters of them ie rspb. Just hope i dont get many more hits or my young bird season will be over before its even begun.

Birds of Prey are an absolute menace nearly everywhere now.After having seen my young birds slaughtered over the past five years racing up from Cumbria and then starting the next season with practically nothing I am now giving serious thought to missing young bird racing altogether training them myself up to about Carlisle (40 miles) and hopefully starting 2011 with a full team first time for years.I presently have about 35 beautiful young birds which I am most reluctant to see going the same way as previous years.What do members on this site think about missing young bird racing.

I,m in the same boat as yourself, but education is what they must have for a good year as yearling in my opinion. So..... i, at the least will give them 2 races which takes them out to 78 miles, and gives them a taste of what will be expected off them the following year as yearlings. Then there is plan z, if i get heavy loses during training i will be forced to miss the season out. Its all about what targets you have set yourself, and being left with none to race, is not one of mine. So i will be taking it one day at a time, with one eye on next year.
