I am so amazed at this group! They are different each year. This year, I must have 2/3rds hens. The complete opposite of my previous 3 years. I guess nature is trying to make up the difference. These guys (and gals) never circle more than once! Today, after jumping up 14 to 23.5 miles, they did a half circle and headed straight off on the exact bearing for home! The only reason I knew it was an exact bearing was because I had studied satellite maps from Google. How do they do it?! The best part is the loft manager called me before I crossed the Ohio to tell me the birds were already home! I wish I could've see it.
