Joining the East Hawaii Racing Pigeon Club was one of my best decisions I had made since getting back into this great hobby/sport. The fellow club members are easy to get along with. The old timers puts forth useful information to new members like me such as information on raising and training my racing pigeons

Nathan is more than willing to share his knowledge of raising and racing pigeons. He is well known for his desire to be a great pigeon fancier. He has been racing for many years and acheived lot of his knowledge through trail and error. In most cases he has gained great respect from myself and fellow Pigeon Fanciers.

D&M Racing Pigeon Loft update on 

10-15-2014

Trial and Error

Lesson Learned

This is a quick update on D&M Racing Pigoen Loft. As we all know I had lost 1/2 of my racers while training them for the 2014 Y.B. season. This was on my own error. After releasing them on my 5th Toss at 9 plus miles I had decided to try a 24 mile toss 2 days later. Well the winds were blowing 12-15 mph in the opposite direction of where the racers were supposedly going to fly. I went against me feelings and did the toss (see 6th Training toss Video)

To make a long story short when I had reached home 10 hours later the Loft was still empty. Keep in mind this was 2-3 days before a tropical storm was to arrive in the Island of Hawaii. Well luckily 1 day later 10 racers returned home, 3 the day after and the other five trikled in after the storm had passed. I learned through trial and error that gradually building up the training toss miles would have lessened the chances of my losses.

But these 18 racers WILL be trained properly for the old bird season next year!
