I should have bought a lotto ticket!
 

This morning I was jump shooting ducks on my farm ditches. I was on the last of four and it was looking like a skunked morning. I spotted a group of ducks on the ditch and made the stalk. I often shoot doubles while jump shooting, but I was surprised when I collected my ducks. I hadn't shot a banded bird in 25 yrs. What are the odds of two!

Where/When were they banded? Are they from the same brood?

I guess I should have said that it has been 25 yrs since I shot a banded bird.
I haven't called the numbers in yet. It has only been a couple of hours.

You do it on line - No need to call

The drake was banded in 2016 in Marquette County Wisconsin.
The hen was banded in 2016 in Saginaw County, Michigan.
