JULY 26TH. Dear Plymouth Peak Fliers and Followers We went 30 Miles three times last week. The first release from 30 miles didn't go very good and we lost a lot more than expected. We have no idea what happened. Our guess is that a group simply went the wrong way and ended up in the valley to the west of us. That day was mostly clear as far as having no smoke to impede visibility. Since then however, the smoke has once again settled in the valley and visibility varies from as little as 2 miles up to 8 or 10 miles depending on the day. The smoke is here to stay looking into the near future. We are planning on training through it as long as visibility is above 2 miles. This has definitely been one of the roughest starts to our training season. We don't know why that is exactly because 99% of the birds look fantastic. They get 2 baths a week. We also disinfect the whole loft weekly. When we let the birds out they are staying up flying longer just loft flying than it takes them to come home from a training toss. So we know they are in good enough shape for the distances we are training at. They also break off into groups and leave routing. A lot of times there will only be a 100 birds visible flying from the loft. So we know they are feeling good and want to fly. We are scheduled to train 40 miles Wednesday. We are changing Friday's toss to Saturday this week. So we will train 40 miles Saturday. Then we will go 50 miles next week. Our home page for the website is still down, but we are making progress and should have the website back up and running sooner than later. All training tosses are available to view from the wincompanion website. Go to wincompanion.com and click on the current Plymouth Peak Trainer and that will allow you to view the current as well as the past trainers and inventories.

MAY 17 Dear Plymouth Peak Fliers and Followers, The hawks are finally starting to let off. We haven't had any hit the birds for at least 5 days now. We now have just over 550 birds in the loft. We have 9 sections out and flying. So approximately 400 birds. We will break another section later this week. The birds are really going up and loft flying good. We are pushing them up to fly everyday unless we have a new section that we are trying to break. We will be doing an online inventory this Tuesday or Wednesday. We are accepting birds until May 22nd and any replacements until June 5th. So there's still a little time to send birds. We would like to thank the breeders that sent us birds this week: Evolution One Loft Race Genesis Syndicate Loft Pleasant Task Farm Murray / Porter NEBO Loft Racing Pigeon Digest Ted Evans Sincerely, Brad Hoggan - Derik Alder - Plymouth Peak Pro Challenge

MAY 10TH. Dear Plymouth Peak Fliers and Followers, Mother Nature is still trying to decide if wet and windy or warm and sunny is best. We have had all varieties of weather the last two weeks. It snowed and a few days later was close to 80 degrees, and then dropped below freezing again the last couple of nights. On top of the unstable weather, the hawks have been very persistent. This is the worst hawk year we've had here in the last 4-5 years. We now have close to 500 birds in the loft. We have 9 sections out and flying. So approximately 400 birds. The birds are really going up and loft flying good already. We are pushing them up to fly everyday unless we have a new section that we are trying to break. We have been doing regular inventories and contacting anyone with missing birds. We will be doing online inventories through win companion within the next week. We are accepting birds until May 22nd and any replacements until June 5th. So there's still plenty of time to send birds.

MARCH 14TH. Dear Plymouth Peak Fliers and Followers, Our first couple weeks of accepting birds have been great. We have 132 birds in the loft. We broke the first section of 45 today. Thank you to those of you that have sent birds to us so far. They have looked great and all seem to be healthy and strong. Birds are vaccinated and chipped upon arrival. We strongly encourage breeders to vaccinate their young birds around 21 days old, so that when we receive them we give them their booster shot. We also encourage birds to be at least 40 - 45 days old. Even a few days older wouldn't be a problem. Those few extra days really seems to help them take off once we receive them and mix them in with the other birds in their section. We spend a lot of time with these birds. We are always on the lookout for potential problems. These birds will receive excellent care as well as being fed the best feed available. We will be starting training on July 5th. This is about 10 days earlier than last year. So please plan accordingly. We would like to thank the breeders that have sent to us so far.
