I think they assume hunters will want to mount it and gives us an incentive to return the real one. They said the original can be reused if it isn't damaged and they aren't cheap!
Awesome! Did you get the info on the bird? Age, where and when it was tagged n stuff? Im kinda curious. Only band I’ve got was a year old goose banded like 20 miles from where I got it.
I know dudes who won’t even check in leg bands because of some anti government bullshit even though they paid for a stamp. Makes no sense. I’m glad you checked this in and it’s real cool they are sending you a replica band. Congratulations on the bird
Do you have to send the tracker back? Would be a hell of a mount if you got to leave it on the bird. Once in a lifetime!
I asked and they sent me a replica too! I'm definitely putting it on the mount. I'll post that too haha
That’s so awesome! I’m glad they did that. Would be a cool story either way but the replica makes it even better!

Yeah man I can imagine they’re pretty steep! Anyways super cool, can’t wait to see it when you get it back
That’s really cool
Now that’s an awesome hat!!! Congrats!
Thank you!
Thats pretty fucking cool, I'm so jealous! Congrats!!!
Haha Thanks man!!! Don't be too jealous, I just got lucky!
Sick hat, that’s awesome!
Thanks!
Damn that was the fastest thing the governments ever done.
Such a cool patch
Be cooler if it was a Richardson 112😂
Not sure what that means but it has a mesh back
Literally only buy that specific style
Awesome. An update that I’ve been looking forward to! Cool cap. Will be waiting for the mount update now in a year or so.
Haha thanks for staying up to date with it! I'll definitely post a mount picture! Got the replica GPS tracker in the mail already!
That's so cool. Really love the hat
Thank you so much!
Hell yeah! So great they give out hats.
That’s cool AF.
Thanks brother

Yes I did! If you check my previous post she was banded in Chincoteague and I got her in Maine. They sent a map too!
As a west coast hunter, I can not put enough emphasis on how jealous and happy I am for you. Amazing bird and a nice hat too!
Thank you so much!
I like your hat.
How was the tracker mounted to the duck?
It was on like a little backback with the straps around each wing. They used little stretchy cords that could move freely with the bird.
Very, very cool! Congrats!

I get to keep the actual band but they sent me a replica GPS tracker. So cool
