I sent 7 Pigeons to a new One Loft Race this year. The Amazing One Loft Race is managed by Dan Hash of Kaysville, UT. He is new to racing with the Ogden Racing Pigeon Club, but he has raised pigeons for many years. He purchased a spectacular racing loft from Scott Saunders. 2012 is the first year for ...
The second race in the Fly For the Fight Series was held last Saturday. This is a fun race. You don’t send your own birds into this particular race. You get to sponsor a bird or birds in the race. Proceeds go to benefit Cancer Research. The Pigeons are all top notch birds from Don Paltani. After the race series is complete, you can pay ...
The first pigeon race of the 2012 Shasta Classic is complete. This ended up being a very tough day of pigeon racing. There were 388 birds listed in the early August Inventory. 310 out of the 388 made it to this first race which is for average speed. Dan Welch did a great job preparing the birds and ...
Fly for the fight is a one loft race I am participating in this year. Proceed go to benefit cancer research. This should be a very fun race series. The results from the first 100 mile race are in. My birds are highlighted below in red.

I finally got a little bit more done on the new pigeon loft over the weekend. I purchased a few things to finish the interior walls, installed some vents up high near the peak of the roof on both ends, and got one of the traps started. Hopefully through this week I can get ...
Big congratulations to the winning pigeons racing in the 2012 Spring Break 300 pigeon race. Due to weather concerns the original race date of 04/14/2012 was pushed back to today. 300 Miles of tough pigeon racing from McCammon, Idaho to Beaver, Utah. Some of the top pigeon lofts in the country were represented at this race. The race training began back in December with 544 pigeons and culminated with 214 ...
Continue Reading ?This training toss was from 45 miles. A little bit of a curve ball for the birds as they have been flying from greater distances lately. I’m starting to get a little disappointed in my birds performance. I feel lucky that all three are still in the mix though! 42991 has become my best performing bird.

Another longer toss for the Spring Break birds. 80 Miles from Oak City. This toss left me checking back for results often as one of my birds didn’t come back. Finally the very last bird to return on the next day was my 42993. My birds as a whole performed poorly on this toss. 42992 barely made it back as a day bird.

They took the birds to 80 miles today. Beautiful weather today in Utah. It was 56 degrees when I was driving home from work today. Probably a little warmer than that down in Beaver where they hold the race. After that last toss I was really excited for today’s toss.
My birds did very poorly today with 42993 clocking 361st, 42991 clocking in 2.5 hours later, and 42992 appears to be missing. It’s well after dark now and the bird that ...
Continue Reading ?I had a good surprise from the Spring Break One Loft Race today. They took the birds out to a new distance of 79 Miles. For a while it was unclear if they should release the birds due to fog. Finally it cleared enough to release the birds.
My 42992 Cock came in just 11 seconds behind the top bird. Gives me some hope for a decent performance in this race. My other two birds however, did not perform well on ...
