opening day, with a band
« on: October 16, 2010, 05:10:16 PM »
Just got home from our opening morning hunt. I was able to get two guys their first ducks and was also able to bring my six month old pup out for her first go around. I shot terrible today but did get lucky enough to shoot a big banded greenhead. Not a bad way to start the season.  :IBCOOL:

Sounds like you needed more bling to help you see the birds.
Glad that 2 new duck hunters saw success.

I am reporting the band tonight so as soon as I get the info back I will post it up here. It was a BIG greenhead so I am betting it is at least a few years old.

Update: The bird that I shot was banded 08/18/2009 in Idaho. Not as exciting as I had hoped but its still a band!
