Thin, worn out, bent, damaged, and hard to read. You got to love those old bands.

And when an old band is harvested, it begs a natural question. Was the bird smart or just lucky?

Meet some fellow duck and goose hunters below that have been fortunate to harvest some old bands themselves. Maybe they have the answer.

Tennessee - Randy Shepherd

Here is a photo of a banded drake mallard that I killed this year.

He was banded in Ontario, Canada on August 23, 1998 and shot on January 18, 2009 in East Tennessee.

This duck was in his 11th year traveling up and down the flyway.
