well, me and a buddy went out this morning to a flooded field we thought might be good.....we were wrong :bash:......... turns out the pond had been hunted pretty hard over the weekend and the few birds we did see were not coming with in 80 yards of us :bash:
so after picking up about 11:00 I decided that I had time to go jump some ditches before I had to go to work and................ on the first jump I kick up a pair of mallards and powdered them both with 2 shots :IBCOOL: at this point I was just happy that I was able to keep my skunkless streak going for this year, until I discovered that the greenhead was banded as well :IBCOOL: :IBCOOL: :IBCOOL:
I could not believe it, I had never shot a band before this season, and now with in 3 weeks I have 2 in the bag!! dont know what I did to deserve this but lets hope it keeps on coming cuz its turning out to be an awesome season so far :IBCOOL:

O ya! they had some immediate info on the band online for me when I reported it.
It was banded in alberta on 8/24/2009

you suck!! >:( I'm just jealous... :chuckle:

Keep it up. I had some of the same luck. I shot another banded mallard this am. It was still alive and my dog drops the birds just short, can't break him of that. I went to grab the bird and he jumped into the ditch and dove before I could grab or shoot it again. It never came up. I was excited as I could see the band on his leg. Then I was pissed at my dog. I never saw the bird again and the ditch is about 10 feet deep.
