Only one to decoy all day. A lot of pressure on the area. Still left with a smile.

I'd call that a 100% shot to bird ratio.

Congrats! Sounds like that bird has been around a while. All my bands (duck) have come from young birds, 2 years or less.

Congrats on a decade old bird! He's probably seen a million+ decoys in his time. Very nice!
