nutz4bucks;
I have been waterfowl hunting for about 12 years. In the past 6 years I've gotten more serious about it, bagging about 75 ducks per year. I'm dissappointed to say that I have a grand total of 0 bands. Never even seen one. None of my hunting partners have any, or have ever seen one.

Our theory is that by the time the ducks get to Texas, all of the banded ones have been picked off!!!!! DANGIT!!!!

Good luck next season!

Cameron, I feel you buudy. I have duck hunted for 12 years and never have been lucky enough to get a band either. One time a buddy of mine was goose hunting for his first time andhis first shot he took down a goose and what do you know it had a band on it!!! Beginners luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

zero. Been on hunts with guys who have gotten banded geese. I guess I need to look harder and shoot the right goose.

Our group seemingly kills a few every year. I killed a greenhead in '97 with a band. Last year I got my first goose band and it was a neck collar/leg band combo. This year I got a banded drake canvasback.
