hey guys. Im just wondering on how some of you guys did with bands this year. If you were lucky enough to shoot any, info. me on what you guys got. lol . give me the year banded and what kind of band. this season, i shot 2 mallard leg bands. 1 was an 01' the other was an 05', both Jack Miner's. thx
I shot 1 banded dove, it was banded in mo. 1 banded pintail, it was banded in sask. 5 banded geese, banded in mo. All were banded in 2006 ,except one goose it was banded in 2001.
No bands this year just yet. But have been lucky enough to be killing birds rather regularly (at last). Still have a little bit of time left though but, birds still haven't shown up in force. I am concentrating on black ducks for my band hopes. Seems that there are more blacks banded per capita than any other bird.
Hopefully I might get another goose...lots of the residents get tagged once or twice.
Heck, I just hope the weather gets cold before the season closes in another two weeks. Helps your chances if you acctually kill birds in the first place!

I shot a banded snow goose. It was my first band and my first snow (technicaly my second since I got my first two on a double).
I have not got the certificate yet but I am hoping it was banded in Russia where the geese I was hunting mostly gome from (Wrangel island of the Siberian Coast)
I killed my 7th banded duck this past Saturday. Not seven this season, but my whole life. It was a Mallard. Last year I killed a Mallard with two bands, one with a $100.00 reward on it.
