some people get alot of them, there not so rare is certain places

Down here in the deep south of Louisiana, banded ones are uncommon, and to me, a tagged bird is like getting a golden egg from a chicken. I hope to God I get one in my later hunts.

I LIVE IN NORTHERN ILLINOS IVE BEEN GOOSE HUNTING CORN FIELDS HERE FOR 6 YEARS NOW AND I HAVE LEGALY YES LEGALY HARVESTED 22 BANDED GEESE FROM THIS AREA ALL LEG BANDS NEVER A NECK BAND .I ONCE HAD A FLOCK OF THREE COME OVER THE DECOYS JUMPED UP SHOT TWO AND THEY WERE BOTH BANDED. WE MUST HAVE ALOT OF BANDS IN ARE AREA OR IM IN THE FLYWAY TO HEAVEN..................

SELLING DUCK BANDS IS LIKE SELLING YOUR SOUL TO THE DEVIL A VERY BAD DEAL...........................WHAT ARE THESE PEOPLE THINKIN.........

i've got 2 banded mallards, 1 banded black, 3 canadians, and one snow. Snow geese bands are raaaaaaare. i got 2 with one shot, and one had some jewlery.

My first season i got 1. and a couple of years ago my grandpa got his first one in the same year i did. The son of the guy who owns the duckclub my dad belongs to shoots about +20 a year. He has rice fields right across from the refuge and they land in his field, so he sits there with spotting scope and bino's and spots them out of the flock
