If he was that kinda throws the "robos kill juvenile birds" out the window! :lol:

Seriously, at 31 years old, that bird has seen every kind of spread you can throw at 'em. Congrats.

Was it using a walker or one of those scooters?

Rocky,
There are some old timers around Greenwood that never reported their bands from the 50's-80's era. They have been catching ducks in live nets and banding them with the old bands just to mess with some duck hunters heads and piss off the USF&WS. :wink:

A FREAKIN 31 YEAR OLD DUCK! :shock:

You ain't tellin tales out of school, are you? :shock:

Was it banded in Laurel, MD.? :wink:

PICTURE OF THE CERTIFICATE IS GOING TO BE POSTED. I LET THE HUNTER KEEP THE BAND. I GET THE CERTIFICATES

I can't imagine. That duck almost outlived me and I haven't been shot at for 30 years. :lol:

Rocky, if it's for real, that is truly amasing. That would shatter ALL records on age. I know he wasn't sporting a grey beard but did the duck look any different than any other?
