On a positive note I do have some oddball leg bands, 4 Black Brant bands 2 of which had a tarsas band, a snow goose band, an 11 year old Ross goose leg band with a blue neck collar and a Specklebelly leg band. Some guys call it “band juju” or “luck” and I personally don’t believe in all that business but when you’re in a slump like I’m in you start to wonder what the hell is going on. Now, well it’s a rare occurrence you hear about from time to time and with more lesser geese in Colorado than ever it seems like a 1 in 2000 chance you’ll score a band. Back then it was normal to kill a band or two out of a single flock of geese. Apparently I missed the banding bandwagon back in the late 90’s and early 2000’s when local banding projects were more common. I kill more Canada Geese than any other species and I’ve yet to lay claim to the elusive leg band. Are you one of those guys who hunts like a maniac, kills a couple hundred geese a year, maybe 100 ducks, add in another 100-200 snow geese yet you have little to no bands to show for your efforts? It drives some guys crazy and I’m one of them.
