14 Jun 2024

Zingem - Wilson Dekens impressed again by taking first and fifth provincial place in the national race from Valence in East Flanders, competing against 668 pigeons.

In the past, Wilson's impressive performances include:
1st Nat. Ace Long Distance 2021
1st Nat. Limoges against 18.930 birds in 2014
1st Nat.Z Montelimar against 803 birds in 2013
2nd Nat. Libourne against 7.740 birds in 2014

4th Nat. St. Vincent against 5.374 birds in 2012 (8th I.Nat against 13.011 birds)

These achievements show that Wilson is no stranger to long-distance pigeon racing, especially in heavy races.

His pigeons also have several fine references on other lofts, such as with Vandenheede Freddy & Jacques, Schietse Jean-Marie & Dave, Luc Vandriessche, Carlos & Xavier Vandemeulebroecke, Geert Dhaenens, Batenburg-Van de Merwe, and others.

His cocks are played on classic widowhood and he uses Beyers feed, with the Gaby mixture and for the heavy work the Jellema mixture.

The red cock BE21-4007760 won 1st provincial Valence against 668 birds and also finished 42nd nationally against 5.469 birds.

Besides this provincial victory, he also won 5th place provincial on the same flight with pigeon BE21-4007800, a dark-checkered cock, finishing 89th nationally against 5.469 pigeons.

Congratulations to Wilson from the entire Herbots team and good luck with the rest of the season!
