Thanks! It has a very special place on my wall. And since its the only band I've ever got that I know I shot its very special.

Never shot any banded waterfowl. Many years waterfowl hunting with solid success. Only a spruce grouse from Conconully area.

Our group has about 15 in 10 years, gotta be out of thousands of birds. All mallards, most of them banded in the region we killed them within the 2 years prior to harvest and generally juveniles when banded.

Myself and many of my huntin partners have killed dozens of honker bands (many local to the Yakima Valley). I was lucky enough to get a double banded honker back in high school, bird was 11 years old from BC w/ a $50 reward. Also killed a 4 year old double banded drake mallard, banded in BC w/ a $50 reward.
Our group killed an 8 year old banded Pintail drake from Tokyo, Japan out of Moses Lake in 2022. 12 dudes in the corn, my close buddy from high school won the draw. The bird was banded on his birthday 8 years prior.
Pretty cool stuff.

The Tokyo Pintail and the smooth Harlequen are absolute trophies. So cool to find that stuff in our state.
