re: Anybody into homing pigeon messaging as a hobby

So I ended up in Deebo's pigeon coop. That's why I be like "frick hector"

There was an episode of Combat where the Americans sent pigeons with messages for help. A savvy German soldier somehow realized what was going on, shouldered his 8 mm Mauser and dropped a flying pigeon with one shot.

That Kraut should have received a marksmanship medal for doing with a rifle what most can’t do with a shotgun.

I sent a pigeon to your mom but she hasn’t sent it back yet.

This would be soooooo gnarly in little cities. Sending carrier Pigeon to deliver handwritten hardcore notes to chicks.

Being into bird dogs we raise a few quail, a lot of bird dog guys I know are into pigeons though. You can use the pigeons to train and they return to their coop.

IMO, pen raised quail taste better and you use the actual bird you want to target with the dogs in wild situations.

Ever notice how other people's hobbies sound uninteresting?

My hobbies are interesting. I collect poor financial decisions and missed opportunities. My collection is vast and I'm always looing for additions.

alright I chuckled at my desk

Let me see if I can find some facebook photos
