Dont remember it but I bet that bird was tough!!

Same here. So many birds here that you have to shoot one pile of birds to get a band especially if you are not hunting in areas banders work. To date I have taken one banded bird here, a snow goose, in 4 seasons whereas in Ontario I accumulated a few more.
