I've heard all those same stories John but never really knew the truth. I turned the band in online and it was rung as a hatchling in July 2013 in Wisconsin. I was surprised it was that young. Bird was HUGE, half again the size of the other drake in the pile.

State Fish and Game work with the Feds and rocket nets birds feeding that they have fed for a few weeks. Bands are put on and birds are released. At least that is how it is done in NH. Does not hurt the birds.
