Hey guys and gals! Just wondering if you care to share the oldest bird that you have shot with a band on it. I shot a Bull canvasback in 04'. Couldn't read the numbers on it so I sent it in for them to acid etch it. got the info back on it.
Tagged in Maryland. hatched in 1986 or earlier. Which means the bird was over 18 yrs old! When I got the info back I punched myself in the face several times. :x I didn't get the bird mounted, but fortunately I did get a couple pictures of it!
