40 y/o virgin...no more. 1st band
« on: October 23, 2011, 06:53:41 PM »
Well I went out with 2 other members today. We went to Skagit HQ. It was a very slow day, only had 3 ducks present shots this morning. I was skilled  :chuckle: (lucky) enough to bring her down. Went and grabbed her and to my surprise she was banded  :IBCOOL:. My 1st band; only took 25+ yrs of hunting waterfowl. Hen mallard. Funny thing is this one is kind of boring; she was banded on 8/12/11 in Lynden. She made it 50 miles South.

The tides weren't very good, but we made a try of it. Thanks D-Rock425 for letting me and my son tag along. We'll shoot more next time.

Nice!

It was a pleasure hunting with you and your boy. Next time with birds a flyin' hopefully!

Still cool to know when and where birds are/were banded. Congrats!

The band harvest seems to be pretty good this early season.  Lots of guys getting jewelry.
Cut em!
It's not the shells!  It's the shooter!
