p.s. i know those are goose calls in a picture with a duck, but real hunters can coax in a mallard with goose calls lol. We just thought it would add to the pic.
Anyways, I've witnessed 3 miner bands get shot this year so far. The first one was on the opener a couple weeks ago where the very first duck my buddy shot was sporting an 08 band. Then last week i went out on the water with another buddy and his second duck of his life had an 08 band. Now this morning, my buddy Tyler (bighonkers89) came down and we hunted a pond. He didnt get any shooting in on the opener when he came down so he was antsy to get a bird today. We only saw three ducks this morning but got 2 out of the three. I shot a drake woodduck (a first for me) and he shot his first duck of the year, the drake mallard pictured above sporting a 2004 miner band. The drake came in with a hen which lived to see another day and hopefully breed some more ducks for next year :st: . Overall it wasn't a bad morning.
