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! cheers

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.

outstanding, amazinghow that works. 39 years ago, I was taken on my first teal hunt. In the gravel pits of seagoville. I shoot one shot, 4 teal dead, one banded. I was addicited at that very moment.

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?

I was beginning to think that I was just the unfortunate soul that shot them off all the time.
