Boilerguy-

I don't know whether to laugh or cry!

My brother, who happens to be the duck hunter in the family, has been hitting it hard again now that he's done deer hunting and hasn't been doing too well.

What did we all do to deserve this nice, beautiful fall weather into early winter! Are we going to have ice yet this year? Sheesh!

Hanson, it's cool, go ahead and laugh at my pain. laugh.gif

Even though the ducks have been slim pickins round these parts, it sure beats being at work. And, hopefully the mother of all cold fronts will come down from Canada eh and freeze everything up so I can get to doin what I love the best. Drinkin in the fish house.

I was lucky enough to get 2 ducks with bands this year. First one was a mallard drake that was banded on Luther lake ont. aged at 1 1/2 yrs old. The second one was a Goldeneye that was banded in Thunder bay and was also 1 1/2 years old. So in my first 20 years of duck hunting I got 1 band and now I have 3 more bands in my last 2 years of hunting.

1 banded mallard drake this year. but the kicker is he had a band on each leg. one the tracking #, and the other $100 reward band. i tried to donate the $100 to a guy who lost his dog, but the durn fool wouldn't accept it after he found the dog. the nerve of some people wink.gif............loc9

Never shot a banded duck or goose, but three years ago I shot a buck with a DNR ear tag. Went to there office ib Grand Rapids and they pulled the file on the deer and showed me where they tagged it. It was about seven miles from where it was taggeg 2 years before.

only band for us this year so far came from a double-banded pigeon I pounded on early goose opener.

last year we got two banded honkers and a greenhead. The geese were locals and the greenhead came out of Saskatchewan.

hopin' for a couple more this year!
