this is the second band in a row(shot one nov 1st) that has been banded from the same guy. my dad shot a banded duck in north dakotaa few years back( the wierd one ive mentioned before that flew a whole state north from sept to when he was banded to october when he was shot) from the same bander and was also banded near houghton south dakota. anybody else with a few bands under their belt ever have them come from the same bander? i also have a goose that i shot this year and a mallard i shot in 2002 that was banded by the same bander.
