You don't see this very often... Banded Dove

They sent this to me over email.. pretty neat to see more detailed info

 

 

cool, thanks for sharing the info and for turning it in. "Encountered" ....you would think they might have a different designation for a hunter killed bird.

I thought that was funny as well! I was expecting them to try and be politically correct with "harvested" or something. haha

I shot a banded one about 4 years ago up near red rocks that was banded 5 years before that. I'll dig up the cert as well!

Just got one today. Pretty cool to walk up on it and see the band. Reported it right then with my iPhone. Got the certificate and history of the bird while still hunting. Was funny after that bird we were all " disappointed " when collecting our dove when none of them had bands. Lol.

When and where was the bird banded?

[tommat]

Got him near Vail Arizona.

Cool information

Never shot one but did find a band in a bone pile under an eagle nest.

I wonder how many bands they collect down in Argentina???

Different type of Doves down there, ours don't migrate to there.

We actually killed a banded duck in Uruguay once. It was on a teal and it was a mallard sized band that the over crimped to fit. It just said the word "Brazil" and a bunch of numbers. The bird boys and outfitter had never seen one out of the tens of thousands of ducks they shoot!!!
