I couldn't believe it when I picked him up. I only get maybe a dozen birds each year, so I didn't really expect to ever get a band. He was banded in Minnesota in 2017. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2023/11/full-64333-405739-20231117_080245_compress11_resize_67.jpg)

Even better, you got a pellet scar on the band. The only way to top that is to get a band with a pellet scar that has dirt or corrosion in it. The only way for that to happen is some poor unlucky hunter hit him before but he didn't go down.

That would be nice, but I can't justify spending that.
