Wow, I can't believe you've never shot one! My buddy David had hunted all his life, started younger than I did, and never killed one till he was over 30.
They do put money reward bands on ducks, Kaas killed one up in Quebec that was $100 bucks a couple seasons back.
The goose neck band always eluded me, I had one try to land in the decoys once when I was out of the pit with no gun. Now they don't put them on much anymore, so I'll probably never kill one.
