How many bird per band?

[vandeman17]

I am in the 100-200 birds per band for sure. I have 5 or 6 right now but I got two in one day's limit so it skews my numbers a bit. I have a buddy that I hunt with the majority of the time and he kills just as many if not more birds then me and he has yet to get a band. Go figure.

I started hunting ducks back in 88 in the Colville Valley. In 89 I trained my hunting dog a yellow lab and have shot my share of ducks with him over the years. I took a new job on the wet side in 05, Dec. of 04 I had to put my hunting buddy down. Bird hunting just wasn't the same without him, so I didn't hunt birds over there. Back in the day hunting over here we only got one band that my hunting buddy shot and it was banded in Watts Lake that year. Yesterday after 8 years of not duck hunting I took my new birthday shot gun to a local jump shoot spot I use to hunt and my first shot dropped a nice green head w/a band. My first band ever. Great way to start off w/ a new gun. I reported it on line and found out it was banded in August of 2005 in Alberta Canada. BTW, I need a dog, fetching my own ducks w/ chest waders suck.

I've only shot one banded bird.

I have 3 mallard bands, 1 bluebill band, a bufflehead band, and a collared cackler that was banded.  Estimated 2,000 ducks and 500 geese shot to get them.  All but 1 mallard from the west side.

1 band for every 1500 ducks
1 band for every 500 geese.  Only one goose band

Maybe I've got something to look forward to this season!!! I've got about 1499 ducks with no bands so maybe it's gonna happen this year.
