any body else have trouble getting the information on banded birds this year? in previouse years they have alwayse sent out the information in the mail. well this year i called in a band and they said they dont have the funds to send out in mail anymore so the guy said he would e-mail the info in 5 business days. it has been 5weeks. Just a little dissapointed like to get the info, the last goose we got that was banded was 16 years old crazy!!

When reporting the bands we harvested this year, we went to the Bird Banding Lab website.  Entered in all the information and printed the certificate right then from the web page.  They no longer will send the certificates out.  It is all electronic.  FWIW you can also enter your older bands and print off duplicate certificates.

The website is much faster and easier.  6 years ago I shot one that was banded three weeks earlier and a quarter mile away.  Didn't do much living I guess.

Just reminded me that I never did get the certificate for the band I called in from opening weekend of deer season.

You can't aim a duck to death.
