Went to the local farmers field today with my dad. A nice drake mallard came in and what do you know it was banded. This is my first year for hunting and ive shot over 70 ducks this year and my first banded duck was on the last day of the season.

Dude,
It only took me 26 years to get mine. You must be lucky! Good job on the drake! You figure out where it was from yet? You can enter the band # on-line and get the data immediately.

Laurel MD is where the the bird band organization is based out of. Mine also said Laurel, but it was from Alberta.
