Charlie- A batting average of 500 will get you rehired in any league. Since returning to Iowa from VA I have exactly 2 bands from Canada geese. One was a road kill (not mine) and one over the decoys. My partner gets one about every other hunt, sometimes 2 in one hunt. However he runs out and brings back all the geese. Of course the banded ones are his (according to him).

Get yourself a good retriever Jeff. They bring everyones birds back to you, no matter who shot them. Almost got me in trouble a few years back while dove shooting. Three of us were shooting and it was fast and furious (sorry Eric Holder). Before I knew it there was 20+ birds in a pile in front of me. Thank the Lord I saw how many were there as about 30 mins. later the warden shows up. The limit is 15/man. Whew! Anyway, shot a Canada goose with a neck band. Could'nt miss that as he approached with flaps down. Yep... dog brought him to me but the band does'nt fit on my call lanyard.
