A trophy in these parts

My buddy John has got another rarety. He went down to the farm where we do most of our waterfowlin. Well he shoots one drake with 3 curls on his tail and a banded bird!! The first one ever down there for us. It was banded in Quebec,Canada in 2004. Thats an old bird!



He just seems to have that horseshoe somewhere!!

I've only seen people with bands around their necks on a strip of leather. I've never even seen a banded bird while hunting. And i've been smackin em for 20 yrs. I won't look for his horseshoe! . But if i find one after I get one,I'll send it to ya UPS.

That is so interesting to me to take a banded bird, never have done that myself, your friend does seem to be having some special luck.

My son took a banded duck last fall on a private duck lake 3 miles West of my house here in North East Mo, when the results came back,the duck had been banded in Sask, Canada 3 days before he shot it. The birds bad luck proved how fast and far they can move out when they take a notion to head South.
In the case of your friends bird, that old fella has put a lot of miles on his wings in that length of time. All good information,whether it be a couple days or years.
