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

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
