Banded Ducks in GA

[Hammockben1]

I have been waterfowl hunting for 7 years now and have gotten 4 bands in GA. Four woodie bands banded in Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan. Birds were killed in the Augusta area.

I have been wanting to go to Augusta area duck hunting but never made it up that way

The first early goose season for GA (I believe), I hunted my FIL’s field. We killed quite a few and one old haggard looking small Canada was wearing jewelry. It was my FIL’s first goose. The band was just about worn through. We sent off for the info and sure enough, it was banded within ten miles of his field many years prior.

Waiting on the information on the speckled belly I killed last weekend. In the past, I killed a lot more with jewelry than I seem to see these days.

My son is 13 yrs old and killed his third band this weekend. A male wood duck approximately three years old banded in Brownville, New York in 2018. He killed his first three years ago in OK, a female Specklebelly 5 years old, banded in Yellowknife NWT. And the second a male Lesser Canada two years ago in OK, banded around Lake Huron. Lucky little joker!
