Also, they will send you info on the age, species etc of evey bird feathers you send in, which will be cool to see if its anything like the certificate for the banded birds. I shot 2 bands this year and sent in the feathers so hopfully i get some new and different information than what the regular band reporting would be

It is kind of neat when you get the information back. it gets to be a pain after a while though. i have done it for the last 2 years. they did not send me any thing this year though. it is an easy way to help them out.

Oh they send you back the information from the birds you send in? Thats really cool...I was doing it just because I thought it was nice to be involved and help out but in the back of my mind I was hopeing that they would send me back the information. How long after the season do they send the information back? and what all is on there?

I think that it is in april or may i can not remember. they tell you if it is male or female and general age on the ducks and they just give the general age for the geese. i like it because it gives me a general time on the calender for when we started shooting what, that helps with the waterfowl season withdrawl.
