duckslayer Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 I was hunting last Saturday in the Southeast U.S. I was trying for Common Goldeneye. I was in position by a little before 6 AM (shooting time was 6:15) and I had to wait a couple hours before I had any action. A Goldeneye Drake caught me off guard by flying in over my right shoulder and coming right around the edge of my decoys (about 40 yds.). I shot twice and missed and I made a desperation shot after it was out of range and I dropped it. I was shooting a pump Winchester 12 GA. with 3 in. Black Cloud steel. I went out and picked it up and it was BANDED. It was my first drake goldeneye ever and it was BANDED. what are the chances? lol. Pictures on my phone. I'll upload and post sometime this week.
