Hopefully I'll get my first this year! Been hunting ducks for a long time and have yet to record one......

Same with me...I've yet to get a banded duck in 19 years of hunting waterfowl. Maybe this year

Speaking of the old bands, a buddy's dad has a band from the second oldest sandhill crane on record. Numbers were illegible and had to be raised with a chemical process. I believe they told him the bird was 48 yrs old.
Okay, before anyone cries B.S. about the 48 yr. old crane, I inquired again about him and he was over 23 years old. Glad I could correct myself instead of someone else.

No duck bands, but one off a goose.

I got my one and only duck band in 97 and just last saturday I got my first goose band. So I only have 2 thus far after hunting for 13 years.

I got my first band last season on a mallard hen. I called the 800 number and gave the information on the band and within a couple of weeks I got a cetificate in the mail that showed when and where the bird was released. It turned out that the bird was banded and released in Saskatchewan Canada 2 years prior to me taking it here in Northeast Oklahoma. Pretty cool!!!

WE HAVE A 2 AND 1/2 YEAR OLD BLACK LAB. HE IS MORE USED TO DEER TRACKING. BUT, WE HAVE PLAYED WITH A TRAINING DUCK SINCE HE WAS A PUP. HE RETRIEVES WELL. WE HAVE A POND BEHIND OUR HOUSE , AND HE BEGAN SWIMMING AT 7 WEEKS OLD. TODAY HE FOUND A DEAD DUCK THAT HAD A FOOT TAG ON IT. WE DO NOT DUCK HUNT BUT WE ARE VERY INTERESTED IN ANY INFO YOU CAN SHARE WITH US ABOUT FINDING OUT WHERE THIS DUCK CAME FROM. WE HAVE THE LEG TAG, BUT DO NOT KNOW HOW TO FOLLOW UP. PLEASE ADVISE. HOW LUCKY CAN WE BE???

THANKS,
