Well, I have one band which came last year. I guess if you averaged it out over the years.....oh never mind....let's just say that was the first and only band in 10 years of hunting.
I love to watch the ducks circle and the dogs work.

I have six total, all of them in the past 8 years. Although I've gotten one each of the last 4 years - a 3 year old, a yearling, an 11 year old, and a 15 year old!

Back in 99-00, my father killed 6 banded birds and was present when 2 others were taken! Talk about a banner year.

I heard all this talk about "getting bands" all my life! Sounded like the thing I ought to aspire to. So, I finally got one...and it danged near ruined my hunting life! Now I don't really see what all the fuss about bands is all about

Yep, I got a wedding band over thirty years ago and it has drastically reduced the days I spend hunting! Be careful about your pursuit of these bands. They can purty near end your days hunting if it comes from the wrong bird!

Most times it seems to average a band for every 100-125 ducks killed.

16. Overall, I would average less than one a year. However, on years where I really have time to get after them (20+ days) I would average a little over one per year. Mostly mallards. Nothing too exotic, most unusual would be a hen gadwall.
