Shot my first double band, we got it during a ringneck blizzard. The bird would have been mounted but it was either young or molting. Is it cheating to take the band and put it on a different bird when I do get one worthy of mounting?

shoot another duck just like that one and is in full plummage and put the bands on em but it may feel a little different. I would put em on mallards cause they look cool....or on the laynard.

I just got the certificate back for a banded hen mallard I got on opener. It was banded in Sask. in 1997 or earlier. That was one old girl.

Just got the info back on the pelican band I found dead in Lac Que Parle lake. It was banded on Marsh Lake this summer, to young to fly when banded. Short life and sure didn't see as much as most migrant birds. Prolly never left the lake.

Got the info yesterday on the two geese I shot a couple of weeks ago that were both banded. They were both banded near Ruthven, Iowa on June 27, 2007. Both too young to fly at the time. I shot them northwest of Worthington a bit. I shot a banded goose in 2001 and 2002 and they were both banded by the same guy who banded these two. Those two were banded in the Spirit Lake, Iowa area. Thought that was pretty cool.

I got the same email message a few of you have gotten:

Unfortunately, we cannot process your report immediately. This is due to one or both of these reasons:

1. There is a discrepancy or potential error in your report that will place it in a hold file until time allows us to work on resolving it.

2. The bander has not yet submitted the data for this band so we are unable to process your report at this time."

Hopefully they will figure it out and send it out later.

Boedigheimer, hopefully I get into a blizzard of ringnecks like you did over the weekend...I'm going to be in your neck of the woods. Nice pile of ringbills.

Quackaddict, that's where that goose was shot, near Leonard. I do most of my hunting near Leonard actually. You should shoot me an e-mail, curious about some stuff... mjbreuer @ charter . net

Da, you'll get your cert. shortly. That message is apparently meaningless...

I just got both of my bands back. One was banded in thief river about 3 weeks before i shot it and the other was banded in Pennslyvania (sp) 4 years ago. That was the one with double bands. That thing was in a different flyway at one time, crazy where they go. Both were drake mallards.

Yo Dan z nicely done, just wondering what kind of a honker is that, the giant ones at 9 years of age would appear I think to be much larger, is that an EPP bird or a cousin type to the Giant Canada ? Nicely done and more luck to you on your next adventure !

My father-in-law got a double banded drake mallard in North Dakota last weekend. He was hunting by himself for the weekend, man was he pumped. One band was from Maine and the other was a $30 reward band. This bird went right to the taxidermist. He is curious to see if this bird was captured and banded twice or if both bands were put on at the same time. None the less a double band has to be a great feeling.

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st

      As I get older it's really not just about sending bullets down range.  Some of it's just the workmanship of the gun and the wow factor. The other two guns I have really wanted which I'll never have now because of their price, is a 8mm Jap Nambu and 9mm German Luger.   Just thought they always looked cool!  
    • jim curlee
      I had a guy hit me with a lightly used 1969 BAR, he wanted $1650 with an older Leupold scope. More than I think they are worth, I made an offer, he declined end of story.   You know if you look at the old brochures, a grade II BAR sold for $250 in the late 60s, $1650 would be a good return on your investment.    Why would anybody want a 50 year old gun, they are heavy, have wood stocks, and blued metal.  I guess mainly to keep their gun safes glued to the floor. lol   You can probably buy a stainless rifle that you never have to clean, with a synthetic stock you never have to refinish, is as light as a feather, and for half as much money, perfect.   I'm too old for a youth gun, although I've shrunk enough that it would probably fit. lol   No Ruger 10/44s.   Jim
