I have been lucky enough to kill to banded mallards in the 5 years i have been hunting but they werent federal bands. they were state released ducks from NC and SC. Tell me what you think about them and if you would feel the same way killing one of them vs. a Federal band.

Thanx: Justin (ncduckhunter)

Government agency banded birds, whether federal or state, I would display with pride. What I have alluded to in past posts is the disregard for private duck club bands that are killed withing 100 yds. of the clubhouse.

man it doesnt really matter what anyone else thinks bout ya banded birds .... but if i were you id have em on my lanyard displayin em .... be proud of em ... heck i havent killed a private club bands yet [:@] .....congrats

forgot to ask ..... have ya killed any of the banded doves down that way ??? i been waitin for one for years now with no luck

A band is a band, that bird is not leashed to any specific place, it is still a rarity to get one!
