HAD A GOOD HUNT A WEEK AGO. KILLED 20 4 BANDS, THEN KILLED 1 GOOSE YESTERDAY AND IT WAS BANDED. PICS IS OF MY LABS FIRST BAND RETRIEVE. YOU HAVE TO LOOK HARD TO SEE THE BAND ON THE GOOSES LEG

you killed 20 what with 4 of em being banded? mallards?

wow, 1/5 of the birds you killed were banded? that might counteract my statistics of 300 birds killed and one band. congrats man!

mine is like 1000 per band

we have found over the last 15+ years that the odds of band to ducks is 1 to 100 (mallards). Some years more than that and some less but the overall average stands at 1 to 100.

congrats on the bands! Still trying for the first so I'm hoping that 1out of 100 is bad wrong b/c it may be another 20 years for me.

the statistics for banded birds gets a lot better when you look on ebay, then sneak them on birds as you pick them up. I'm 5 for 5!
