Guest CBU93 Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 Re: how many bands I've been hunting for many years and have yet to kill a banded duck. I think the guys up north are killing them all before they can get here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wishinone Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 Re: how many bands In 30 plus years of hunting waterfowl I have taken only two geese with bands, one in NY about ten years ago and one in CT this fall. There is four Canada geese wearing leg bands on the lake where I live, I saw them when they crossed the road a month ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palssonater Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 Re: how many bands I have shot many birds but never one with a band. Seems everyone I go with gets one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clayman Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 Re: how many bands I shot a snow goose in Manitoba two years ago that was banded. My brother shot a banded Hen Mallard this year in Manitoba. These were first bands for both of us in over 20 years of waterfowling. It's those darn hunters down south who seem to be killing all the banded birds! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clayman Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 Re: how many bands My brother just emailed me and said his hen mallard was banded Sept 12, 2003 At Rochert, MN (Near Detroit Lakes, 60 miles East of Fargo/Moorhead). The info said it was hatched in 2002 or earlier. So to recap. Hen mallard was banded in Minnesota, then killed 400 miles away in Manitoba by a Minnesota hunter, and then returned to Minnesota a year after being banded here.

Covehnter Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 Re: how many bands I've got 2 bands, one off a wood duck and one off of a canada goose. Both were killed here in N. Georgia. . . the wood duck was banded near Columbus Ky and the goose in south georgia close to Macon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bow Hunter Derek Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 Re: how many bands I've shot a pick up bed full of geese and ducks over the years and have ZERO bands to show for it. Around here most all the birds we shoot are locals and very little banding goes on. I've seen a few geese with neck bands, of course either before or after season. I hunt Lake Erie a couple times a year, but still no bands yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbduck Posted November 14, 2004 Report Share Posted November 14, 2004 Re: how many bands It took me 35 years of waterfowling before I got my first one off a Greater Canada. On the other hand, I took my 13 yr old out for his first goose hunt(first hunt fot anything) a few weeks ago. Would`nt you know, the very first goose he shoots, has a band. Doesn`t let me forget it either. Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coles Posted November 15, 2004 Report Share Posted November 15, 2004 Re: how many bands i have 5 that my uncle gave me, and 3 that i have shot/found.the first one i ever got i found on a dead duck.my brother shot a banded goose the same day. then i shot a banded greenhead about a month ago and then tonight i shot another banded greenhead in the same spot. so i guess i have been pretty fortunate since i have only been hunting for 5 years. huntin in montana, cole smith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
