TEACHERS WIN RACE!

IN STUDENTS VS. TEACHERS RACING,

TEACHERS WIN AT LAST.

I had one great bird for a birthday gift today and

the Teacher Loft FINALLY won a race.

Thanks to the Metro Club for entering the pigeon.

The results are attached here and on the website.

The top ten points leaders are on the website also.

The report was generated by WinSpeed and does not

take in to account any tie scores.

The 250 will be for 100 points with 4 point increments

and can change the standings quickly.

Thanks to all of you for your support.

PASSION FOR PIGEONS

A passion for pigeons

Wednesday, October 27, 2010

By theleader

Ellen Cook
Leader Editor

Ryan Hess has a hobby that is strictly for the birds – as long as those birds are pigeons.
He is not content with just any run-of-the-mill variety, however, only the highly intelligent “can find my way home from just about anywhere” brand of pigeons.

Hess has been perfecting this hobby since about the age of 14 when he used to catch barn pigeons so his dad, Bart Hess, could train his hunting dogs to point. For some reason, those pigeons didn’t seem to stick around after they were turned out for the dogs. That meant the younger Hess was always out hunting down more.

Then a family friend suggested getting homing pigeons, birds that always seemed to find their way back to the coop. From there Hess moved on to the more muscular, stronger-backed racers and his proficiency with pigeons grew.
