An older gentleman that came to the shop about 8 yrs ago and told us about it. I blows my mind how far they used to do it. He said they had the start at Thunder Bay and finish is somewhere in southern ontario. It is a dying sport apparently. Conicedently a pigeon landed on our backdoor a few months after speaking with him and it appeared to be in a race with the tags on it legs.
I knew a cat make it's way from Muskoka to Brampton. He went missing in Brampton and then reappear in Muskoka 2 months after.
