Killed my first banded duck!

Postby splitbackveer » Sun Jan 12, 2003 2:53 pm

I killed my first banded duck Saturday morning. Yee Haa! It was a male woody. What am I supposed to do now? Also, I'm wanting to mount it with the band but do I take it off or leave it on before I take it to the taxi guy?

Call 800-327-2263 or this: http://www.pwrc.usgs.gov/bbl/homepage/call800.htm

and report the band.

I would pry off the band without cutting the leg off if you want to have the bird mounted. Then when you get him back, you can put the band back on his leg.


Congratulations my friend. It was probably the greatest day of my life, when I picked up that duck that had the first band I've ever collected. I'll never forget that day back in 1987. Way to go.

Congratulations, SBV! By your handle, sounds as if you've coached a little ball.

Called in the band #, the woodie came from Maryland. They said they were going to send me a certificate with all the info on the bird. Can't wait to get it.
