I think banded birds are cooler than shooting a huge deer.

I have yet to take a banded bird but that is the same thing I tell all my buddies that are starting duck hunting!

Geese 19

Ducks 9

Coot 1

Dove 2

Common Merganser 1

IMO it is more about where you hunt and luck than skill
As I hunt in a area that they band local birds

But if the geese are gliding in
I look for neck and leg bands

Seven in all. Six Mallards and one Wood Duck. One of my Mallards was double banded with a $100.00 reward band.

I missed one, that the guy next to me killed[:'(]

I have none, here's some of my Dad's. There's a lot more that are on mounts, and neck collars that don't go on the lanyard:D
