Duck and goose season opens tomorrow!
We're heading to a local duck hole here in NV for the morning hunt and then we're off to California for a couple of days of goose hunting.
I'll have some pics to share when we return...

i have a buddy who last year killed a total of MAYBE 50 birds---- 3 bands!!! un-freikin-believeable!
i do have 4 bands, 2 came from 1 bird, it had a regular band and a $100.00 money band [ which was void] it was pretty cool.
i do have a theory, for what it's worth,shoot your limit of hens if you want bands! every one of my bands have came from hen mallards. my theory is we all shoot as many drakes asa possible and so there are a lot less bands on the drakes. the hens- there will be a ton more out there still packin bands....... when they net the birds they band just as many drakes as hens. less hens are shot= more bands per bird------ i dont know, i just came up with this theory last month, but it makes sence. i think i will try and add my 2 hens this year to my limit, where as most years i would try for 7 drakes.
WHAT DO YOU THINK???
gotta love going after the "honkers"

Three of us hunted ducks in NV in the AM and shot a total of 14 birds.
We're home for a few minutes to regroup, nap for a few and then go chase the geese in CA.
We'll be home about 8:30 or 9:00 tonight, then back after the geese tomorrow morning.
Pics to follow...
The goose hunt turned out to be a complete bust. The spot got hammered during the morning hunt and most of the geese left the valley. I didn't bother to hunt it Sunday. I'll be back after them Saturday though.
Here are the duck pics...
Keep at 'em, good luck Mark
