Opener AKA The Bandathon

Blake and Brandon went out on the opener after a goose/mallard combo hunt.  The pictures will tell most of the story.  6 geese down, 5 of them banded.  One of them was double banded!  6 geese, 6 bands...unbelievable!  They were able to get into some mallards as well, but had to pass on a ton of flocks because of all the eclipsed drakes that made differentiating them from the hens difficult on the fly.  Felt it was better to be safe than sorry.
