REPORTING WATERFOWL BANDS
by Steve McCadams

December 14th, 2007

   The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency urges waterfowl hunters to report leg and neck band numbers they find on ducks and geese to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS).  The recovery of waterfowl band numbers reveals scientifically valuable information necessary to monitor migration patterns and manage North America’s ducks and geese.

    The USFWS has implemented a toll-free number for hunters to report band numbers.  The toll-free number is 1-800-327-BAND (2263).  The information to report is the band number, the date of harvest, and the county or area of harvest.

    Waterfowl bands are prized trophies to waterfowl hunters and do not need to be sent to the Wildlife Service.  In return for reporting band numbers, the cooperating hunter will receive a fact sheet and a certificate appropriate for framing.

Steve McCadams is a professional hunting and fishing guide here in the Paris Landing area. He has also contributed many outdoor oriented articles to various national publications.
