RE: How many birds have you taken with bands?
I live in an area that bands both ducks and geese so they are very common up here but it is STILL about luck. I have 5, I have a friend with 3 lanyards full, and my best huntin buddy who has hunted N-IA for 30 seasons has just a handfull. he did get 2 goose bands with one shot...but thats a story for another day.
