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.

When living on a farm in VA, I set up some decoys in a corn field for my wife, who rarely hunts by the way, and went back to the house. I heard her attempting to call some geese and looked over in time to see her make a double with her POS Remington 1187. One of those birds, which were her first geese had both a leg band and a neck band. We still have it.
