Thoughts Of Realism

Taken from the Alberta Classic. A mainly Canadian site.

But are the Raptures any different than here. I very much doubt it.

Hi David

Best of luck on your races today

I'll pass on a bit of advice that has worked for our club here on the island, we have no other choice but to fly one direction here, so training and racing started to become a problem starting a few years back, Vancouver island is called the warmlands for a reason, with that our preditors set up house keeping all year round, after getting hit every time we let our birds out I realized something needed to be done, if you can't beat them, then learn about your enemy, so I set up a seminar with a local raptor place, half a dozen members showed up, the rest thought they knew enough or didn't think they needed to know, for the six of us that went it was a great learning tool, we learnt about everything we need to know, with that information we changed our release time both racing and training, it helped allot, didn't stop the problem, but cut it down big time, problem we have now is people forget, their concerns are more about themselves then the pigeons, they went back to early training and want early releases, they don't want to sit waiting for pigeons till noon, then come to the club complaining about heavy losses or injuries.

Everything changes, reason we need to pay attention and change with it or suffer the consequences.

Not saying it is going to solve your problems, but it just might help with fewer hits, and never know, maybe some of the guys might see the reason why the course should be changed for your club.

 

Just a suggestion, be prepared, all of a sudden your going to find some pigeon fliers that have become experts on the raptors. LOL
