After Remi brought it back no one was realy paying attention to anything except it was a redhead when Spanky say's hey that bird is BANDED and everyone goes no it's not and then Jordan holds it up for all to see and sure enough it was some BLING I don't know who was more excited Jordan or the four of us in the blind with him. All I can say is congrats to my son for a great shot and his first band. WAY TO GO SON I am very happy for you. Here are the pics.

If he would have gotten a second pass he would have bugged out like most of the others did this morning.

I've been duck hunting like 10 years now, and have yet to get a band... and I've only shot 4 redheads. This is ridiculous and makes me sick, but congrats to him!!!

The bird was banded in Write Laurel, Md. Mike Jordan also calls on the blind comment. He said it was his great shooting ability and a determined dog that got that duck.

The kid will be ruined No sir, not this boy, he works and pay for his own shells and equipment, and my guess he will pull his own and pay for the mount of this bird, a well deserved trophy for this young waterfowler/duck call maker!!!!!
