Been after ducks almost exclusively for almost 15 years and killed over 2,000 birds. Saturday morning I finally got my first band. Just thought I'd share the moment with everyone!

Don't let your ears hear what your eyes didn't see, and don't let your mouth say what your heart doesn't feel

Very nice! I shot my first band, which was also a pintail, last season. Hard to beat that feeling. Heck of a sprig as well! You'll have to post the banding data when you get it from the USGS.

yeah I don't think I'll ever be able to beat that feeling. I've been on hunts, or more like taken other people on hunts, and seen 5 bands killed. One of which was my brother who shot a banded green wing on his first hunt (Thanksgiving day) of the year in 2012. I was very excited for him but still disappointed at the same time. I was pretty special to finally get one after wanting one for so long.

I guess nobody pays attention when I tell them all to stop killing my banded birds?
