Started the season with 44 in training and now have completed 19 training tosses to 35 miles.

I lost 10 in a 10 mile disaster very early on.

Then lost 4 in 30 mile disaster

Disposed of 2 as not deemed good enough

Cat had 1 so recovering in the late bred loft

1 bird of the missing 10 returned a week late so in the late bred loft

First race sent 26 and had them all

Had 1 reported yesterday from the 30 mile disaster

 

=

26 in race team

3 in the the latebred loft

disposed of 2

so have lost 13 (all in just 2 of the training tosses) in 19 training tosses upto 35 miles and 1 race from 76 miles.

missed first 2 races

first race for me i got 11/14

second race sent 22 recieved 11 ( hia race being a disater for loads of fanciers )

[Guest IB]

No offence, but I believe this is better asked end of season. It's tempting fate to post losses when season has just begun for some.

I would say 40/50% of the lads in my area have had enough this season and thrown the towel in.

We've had four races in our fed and some serious losses,could be alsorts of excuses poor training ,birds not fully over YBS but one for definate BOP.Our races have been seen heading towards Black Coombe and just milling about not wanting to run the gauntlet.My youngens had at least twenty tosses by myself and further tosses with a local transporter going within ten mile of the first race point I never lost a bird training but had a few injured,lost three by BOP over the loft and sixteen racing,two reported dead two back in boxes and two returned a week late,probably brought nearer home by some good fancier.

The Fed just South of ours. Again had a real hammering,one fancier comes to mind and a very difficult man to beat 73 away 50 missing on the night from their first YB race.

not racing ybs as were to advanced in there moult before training will be breeding far later next season , i blame the high winds and hold overs for the advanced moult , so will be removing a few from the team and winter rest and will get plenty of training in to them next year , not had the best of weather or racing conditions this year , hope next years alot better , global warming just another way of getting us all to pay more tax had coldest winter 2 weeks you could call summer rest been a wash out , i think biggest factor has been weather related and bops , i also wonder what efects the solar flares have had on training in last few days ?

[fred x]

Lost 3 in training over the weeks, & 17 in one race, the very first yb race of the season, It leaves me 6 Young bird to race this season left. only raced 12 young birds last year, left with 6 yourlings. I have had to sent away for some rings a freind is going to bred me 6 late breds i can train in the closed season. so i will have some thing to fly next season.

Only retuned back to racing last year What has this sport become, just a feeding ground for the BOP. the federation fly West to East along the South Coast each week.

I will give it one more year,see how it go's then i may call it a day.

 

i have had good people gifted me good pigeons

I Had the Dropping tested back with "OK"

Never trained my pigeon so much in my life. Up to 35 mile they could beat me home each time.

I keep looking in the mirror, & saying to myself what are you doing wrong. !!!!

you should now be able to select more than one option

[paul10121968]

i am shocked by the amount of birds that are going missing.to many i think even for the bop to be taking them all.all feds have had bumps this year all over the country.its very difficult to find the reason for these lossess but one thing is for certain the lossess are getting worse not better.i decided not to race my youngsters again this year and start them off as yearlings instead.they will still be trained as normal.i did the same thing last year and only lost six out of 22 yearlings.i raced them up to 200 miles and stopped them.but next year i should be able to take them further as 2 year olds.

[sapper756]

I think after the losses from todays racing here in Scotland, might blow your poll out of the waterhttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif
