well i had a cat in my garden months ago and never seen again then 2 nights ago there was the same cat on the sputnik but it got a fright do you think it will come back after that

grrrrrr the reason i asked as i was going to try and take my youngbirds to train before my work then go straight to work but that scraps that 4am rise for me then

has anyone ever known a cat to go through a sputnik

On his profile he hasn't been back on since his first post

I was thinking today that its maybe better for the smaller team men including myself not to race youngsters so we have old birds to race because these losses are out of hand now! Maybe train hard which will result in losses anyway and maybe one race just to give them the expierance

I must say after getting some gd distance blood in and trying to build a team at the distance for the future i do feel really deflated and gutted for some of the guys on here, If top fanciers in this country cannot get birds back what chance have i got

If a fancier bought there own tracking system would they be allowed to send?? Like is it illegal

Young birds out this morning very nervy what a stressfull hobbie this is i swear i have lost some hair since i joined the fancy

tonight the young birds were very hesitent to drop onto the loft then went in the kitchen turned around and there was a fecking cat on my landing board so it got fright but i have 6 ybs oot aw night :emoticon-0179-headbang: the *expletive removed* jumped aboot 2 ft off the doocot lol hope it disny come back

hahahah

A gd friend of mine had something similar he liberated 26 ybs 3rd toss after 3 hours only one home 3 days later only missing 3 so they will work back and what rooster said they will be hard to lose the ones that do atb
