Default My First!

This morning was probably the beset one I've experienced so far. Went out for early season, not expecting a whole lot since we hadnt been seeing a whole lot of geese. The first flock we got to work came in and for some reason or another I only had 2 shells in my gun, so I only got 2 out of that flock. About an hour goes by and another flockof about 6 or 7comes and starts to work, and comes right in. My dad and I both come up shooting and he takes 3 and I shoot 1 . He goes to pick up his birds and tells me that the first ones banded, at first I was so surprised i didnt even believe him. Then I picked up his second goose and it was banded also. By this time im so excited to go pick up my goose, expecting it to be banded also, I run across the field and see his left leg sticking up with a band on it. First band ever. All the numbers on the bands were within 10 of each other. Cant wait to find out the ages and where they were banded.
