I'm not saying if I was Tom I would have demanded the band. Tom definitely acted like a d-bag. But if I take you hunting to a spot I scouted we take my boat and you shoot a band and don't at least offer it to me (never been in this situation so cant say for sure but I don't think i'd take it) you probably wouldn't get invited back. This is ridiculous. I'm thinking you won't have to worry about anyone on here wanting to hunt with you now anyway so doesn't matter I guess.

I may have had to walk back to the truck or maybe even to home(would have called someone as soon as they got out of sight), but there would have been no way he was getting that band! Just my 2 cents.

I'm with the vast majority of the crowd, not only would I have kept the band, I wouldn't feel entitled to it if I were Tom. I caught a big fish once, the guy with me wanted to pose with it for pictures as if he had caught it. I just don't understand that mentality. What is Tom going to do with the band? Brag about how his expert navigational skills produced a band? If so why doesn't he get a band on every hunt?
Tom sounds like a socialist.

We live in different worlds then.
I take somebody hunting, what they shoot is theirs - that's the whole point of taking them hunting.
Somebody takes me hunting, what I shoot is mine.
May have a lot to do with it. I grew up in south Louisiana where some people deer hunted all season without seeing a deer and then other people on the same lease would shoot 6 deer a year. We always divided the meat equally. Figured if they paid their lease fees, they deserved meat as well. Most of the time the guy on the hot streak one year didn't shoot anything or much the next year, so it worked well for us. Duck hunting was the same way. We all split the gas and groceries, why send someone home empty handed because they had a bad day shooting. A lot of the times our grandparents, aunts or neighbors would ask for a mallard or two. We'd speak up at the beginning of the hunt that we knew somebody that wanted a pair of mallards. In every case, first two mallards were spoken for regardless of who shot it. We never argued about it. If someone ever said they wanted the ducks they shot, then they got them. Most of the time hunting 3-4 guys you don't know who really shot half of the ducks anyway. The opposite is true with dove hunting. I tend to get stuck with all of the birds because no one wants to take them home and clean them. I say stuck, but it doesn't bother me, the kids and I love them. I haven't killed a duck in Texas yet. Anybody invites me on a hunt, I will gladly let them pick which birds they want.

Same goes for if i'm with a guy in his boat his spot (or his property) and we all jump up and shoot and the bird is banded i'm not drawing for straws or even trying to claim the band. The guy in charge of putting me on that bird is getting it without a peep from me. Now a guided hunt is a totally different issue. I see that's not the majority here but still feel that way. I just cannot grasp this mentality, and hate to see it from a fellow Ag. So, hypothetically, you invite me to your deer lease to hunt and tell me I can shoot anything. And luck is on my side and a 12 point 180" monster buck walks out and I pop him. If I dont offer that deer to you to mount and take the meat, you will never invite me hunting again? It is the same concept. I just dont get it. Hunting is supposed to be about more than that. Or it is to me anyway.

Well then, let's split that band three ways, that way Bob gets a piece too. Really!

Surprised he did not want the shell you shot the duck with so he could keep that also. What a douche bag to demand that you give him the band. I bet his story of how he shot the duck is a great one. I did not catch it in the thread but what did your mutual friend think about the outcome of who got the band?
Shhhhhhhh better to be quiet than remove all doubt..

I have invited many people to hunt with me over the years and have been invited by others to hunt their spots. It would have never occurred to me to ask someone for a band from a duck that they shot. That's like wearing someone else's rodeo buckle, (I have several that I won), I would never want to carry around someone else's trophy.

I honestly don't know a single person who would want to keep a band from a bird they didn't shoot at. This! Imagine the stories he's going to tell all his buds about how he dropped this mallard drake from 70 yards and it was banded!!! That's garbage... I didn't think of it till I read all this thread but the easy response is "sorry, bud. It's illegal to transfer game like that". Crazy...
