Got my first duck band

I took off Friday , went out with a good buddy. Our first spot was dead
Then we jump to another river spot. The action was better spite being in the
Afternoon. We had a pair float down and stop in a calm spot about 75 yards.
My buddy walked up to jump shoot them, they went up he shot one
And I got the other that flew right to me. Turned out to be a great day.
I'm glad I took off. I like to thank all the guys who helped me out.
And my buddy who was so happy you think he shot it.
I feel real lucky since this only my second season and I got one
I know guys go a long time without one. Put it on my lanyard so
Every time I'm out I can of that awsome day.
It was banded in Stanhope so it was a resident bird.

Thanks me and my buddy are getting better.
5 birds my first season to 24 birds my second season
We made some mistakes but learned from them.
All I know is I'm proud to said,
Hi my name is Chris and I'm a duckaholic.

Chris first welcome to the world of fun and frustration. I have been at this for 45 years now and still learn something every season. I have seen the "good" seasons and "bad" and both have learning lessons in them. I guess the most important thing I learned is to be flexible. Hope you have many more good hunts to come.

Thanks Rick, I heard yeah i even love the bad days.

Congrats on the band and I can't agree more, even the worst day hunting is still better than a good day at work.
