Dang, that's the way it goes. I still remember a time sevral years ago , been duck hunting over 30 years, that I did something similar. Granted I do have one duck band, from a montana banded mallard and two canada geese bands. But anyway there were 3 of us hunting a nice flooded corn field, birds were working it great, we were all close to a limit and I was on vacation. One of the guys with us needed to go to work and only needed one mallard to limit, it was my turn to pull on the next single, but since he needed to get to work I let him have the next mallard that came in, you guessed it, it was banded. Oh well I hear those little metal bands don't taste all that great anyway. :lol3:
