 :tup:  :tup: since I don't hunt ducks much, do you have to turn the bands in? Ive seen a lot of people on here that are excited about shooting banded birds.

You should go to this site and fill out the report form online.

 http://www.pwrc.usgs.gov/bbl/

 They will give you the bird history immediately. I'm surprised nobody here asked you the question yet. Where was the bird from? I shot one last year and the bird was from way north in Alberta. It was 10 years old and flew the migration to Washington 800+ miles( each trip? you count the miles). My buddy and I shot another last weekend that was just a baby born this year and tagged on Sept 1st!!! Only flew 175 miles from BC. Oh well I think its great that they are tracking the ducks and would love to hear where yours was tagged.

I went to the website listed on the band as soon as I got home from my hunt and entered the information required for the report, I got this response:

the website listed on the band



That should tell you it is a recent banding right there. 
 So Far I've got 1 band with a Web Address on it. (www.reportband.gov)  Banded in 2011...  all the others have read "call 1-800-327-band".  I don't know exactly when they switched to web address' but it has been in the last couple years.

I figured it was a more recently banded bird due to the fact the band looks brand new, nice and shiny silver as well.
