Training Pays Off

Or, lack of training is obviously not a good thing. I sent out 20 birds - 5 were the late ones. They they did fine from 24 miles. I jumped them up to 42 miles. This is always the next hop. But, I usually hit all the drops 3-4 times each. These guys only got dropped twice from each spot. No time. So much rain lately! I thought if they went out with the other 15 they'd follow them home with no problem. The other 15 came in on time. The 5 didn't make it at all. Maybe they'll find their way tomorrow. I said it before - never again will I train out a 2nd batch.
