Wait a second your telling me that you went out and shot one single limit and ended up with two banded mallards!

That is VERY cool!

Definately need to see some pics...

Aww, come on, Baltz, film is so old school!

Can't wait to see those pics. That sounds like an awesome day out there. Two bands in one morning! Did you buy a roll of lotto tickets?

one of the banded birds was passing with a 40mph tailwind at forty yards plus. high point of the day

You're such a tease Baltz. Here you are, getting us all worked up with stories of a one limit/two band day, and then, to our great disappointment, no pictures. Such a tease.

That sounds like a great day. Yowza!

Sounds like every trip i take to summer lake.....should have been here yesterday the wind was blowing and could have shot birds all day. I show up and the sun is shining with no wind and NOOOOO birds flying...gotta love to hate that place

I was there on the morning of the 29th. There were very few hunters were minimal birds flying, but I did see 4 coyotes on a frozen lake/pond trying to sneak up on a flock of geese just as it was getting light enough to see. I came home with one greenhead though. Another interesting high point of my trip was seeing a few bighorn rams off hwy 31 towards Paisley...I have digital pictures, but have not yet figured out how to post them here.

Sounds awsome!!! Don't let these guys bust you up over the bands.... I got three out of one flock earlier this year on sauvies and lost one later that my dog couldn't quite get to or find. Congrats!!!
