Mallard drake banded in Canada. Shot it in Tennessee.

My brother and I shot two wood ducks, both with web tags. They were tagged and shot in the same town in LA.

Mallard Drake Banded in Saskatchewan. I shot him in 2001 and one of the bb's hit the damn band. My other was a Mottled duck drake I shot in 2000 banded near Gilchrist Tx. Hunted every season since and haven't gotten another one. 2 in back to back seasons then none in 20 fricken years.

Have hunted for 20 years and never been on a hunt where a band was killed. I have a buddy that hunts once every few years and has 3 or 4 bands.

He went crane hunting once last year, on his birthday and with a brand new shotgun. Shot one crane and it was banded back in 2005 I believe.

2 mallard drakes.
First one was banded in South Dakota, hatched in 2017, killed opening weekend of 2017.

Second one, I was the only one to shoot at a greenhead trying to get out and watched where he fell and the dog pick him up. Younger guy that was hunting with us got all excited when he saw the band, so I said I was pretty sure that was the one he killed.

Funny that this thread came up. I got a new lanyard for Christmas and was switching my bands over to it the other day and it got me thinking about each one:

My first band ever was a drake Woodrow killed up on the Ouachita River near Walls Lake when I was 15. I think it was banded in Kentucky.

Did not kill another band until I was in college around 1992. Killed a Mallard drake on some lake outside of Ferriday. Can't remember where it was banded. I think in Canada.

Was in on another band on a Mallard drake about 2000-ish that I won on rock paper scissors against another guy that shot at the same bird in a pit in Start. Banded in Alberta.

Killed a Snow with neck band and foot band out at Woodsland on 15 East of Monroe. It was an actual flying shot and not done on a creep either. Banded up in Baffin Bay area.

Long drought after that but then hit 5 in a row. Banded BW Teal killed in Winnie, TX in 2016. Banded in Krotz Springs, LA???? Would have never pegged that one.

Pintail drake killed in Anahuac, TX in 2017. Banded in Canada. Saskatchewan.

GW Teal drake killed in Pierce, TX in 2018. Banded in Minnesota.

Wood Duck drake killed in Navasota river bottoms near College Station, TX also in 2018. I can't remember where it was banded.

Mottled Duck hen killed in Anahuac, TX in 2019. Banded in Anahuac NWR.

Buddy I hunt with has shot two Jack Miner banded birds here in Alabama. They are pretty sought after. That was back in the 90’s.
