earlier this fall i shot a double banded duck, after calling the info in, i finally recieved my certificate in the mail.

duck was banded in manitoba canada, in august of 2003, it hatched in 2002 or earlier. a 5 year old duck seems pretty old. still haven't decided on mounting him. his color wasn't all that great, his white neck band was pretty thin
 
5 years of tripping from northern canada to god knows where mexico... and then back again? i'm guessing that is older than your average mallard.

pony up, put him on a log in your living room.

Stop being a tight-wad and call Derek to get it mounted!!! Did anyone else hear about a banded mallard that had a reward of 1 million dollars? It was supposedly banded 6-7 yrs ago and to date no one has shot it. Not sure if this is true or not but it would be a nice little treat to get the golden ticket. /forum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif
 
i read somewhere that there was a satalite duck in iowa. has some kind of radio/gps collar on it, so they know its whereabouts at all times. don't know what it would be worth, but it would be cool to shoot it.

thanks, guys, for trying to help me spend money i don't have
 
In stuggart Arkansas, they banded 20 mallard hens 3 years ago. My roommate at the time helped them put the gps trackers on them. You can go to the Arkansas game and fish website and look to see where the hens have been, where they are at, at anytime. Pretty interesting. I don't think that the ones you will look at will be the same hens that were caught and collared back then. The gps transmitters don't last that long, so they have been doing it ever since.
 
Shot a banded mallard a few years back on the Kankakee/Yellow river area in NW Indiana.
Certificate came back stating that the bird was banded in
Stuggart(sp?) Arkansas. It was reported to be 8 years old.
(buddies said he was old, slow and partially blind...only way I was able to hit him.)
 
I think it is kinda dumb to put the radios on the hens personally, and you can go to a website and see where they are at. I think there is one around saylorville right now and the rest are in like sd and others still in canada
