Shoot a banded duck I love to shoot a banded duck which is a duck with a band on its foot that the DNR has placed on the duck. The band has a special code on it, if you send the code number into the DNR and they will call you. They will then share with you where the bird has migrated from.

black lab that is new to duck hunting. All summer long we would go out in the heat to train for duck season.

I had four weeks to transform an inside dog that has never even heard a gunshot into a lean mean duck retriever. This was
is starving but the laws told you that you cannot go out and get food, what do you do? A similar question was running circles in Tommy Pikok Sr. and John Nusunginya’s head when the law told him he could not provide food for his family. In 1961 the Duck-In began when the Migratory Bird Treaty was signed. This treaty outlawed hunting from March to September when the birds were only available for harvest in Alaska.
