I killed three banded geese in one day years ago and killed two banded mallard drakes in Quebec the last morning this past September. I can't complain really, I've gotten quite a bit of jewelry over the years. I wear them on my lanyard like every other hillbilly braggart that I know. To me they're like shooting a big buck or the equivalent, a real trophy, and I like to show them off.
What's your most oddball band and your oldest? My most oddball is a greenwing teal, my oldest was a goose. He'd been banded as an adult eleven years before I shot him, but only five miles away from where the deed was done. I've also got a pair of BASC bands that I killed on mallards in Ireland, that was quite day as well.
And you've got me beat on the mini goose even without the band. In all the goose hunting I've done, I even used to be a guide, I've never shot one of the lesser races. Giants and the standard size, that's it!
