Great last evening of duck season

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.

Destry;

Two rules when waterfowling......
1. If you are having a slow day and nothing is happening the surest way to bring birds into the dekes is to either go out and rearrange the dekes or to start to pick them up.
2. The most important. NEVER get out of the pit or go retreive a bird without a gun in hand.

...or peel your waders down to pee, guaranteed to bring in the birds.

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.
