Mallard ducks are trapped and banded at various locations in
Cheap RS Gold summer and hunters are asked to send in details of any banded birds they bag, including the band number and where it was harvested.“Normally by this time we would have received details on ten to 18% of those birds we banded in January, and about three percent of the bands from the previous year January 2014.
But this year only nine percent of birds banded in January have been recovered and reported, so we’re not sure what’s going on.”Mr Mc Dougall says Fish Game needs to take a closer look at the data to see if they can fathom this shortfall. “We are very keen to hear from hunters who have bands lying around that have not been reported yet.
Mr McDougall says hunters are reminded that under the Banding Together promotion by Hunting and Fishing New Zealand they can go in the draw to win one of five Shearwater camo hunting jackets.“We appreciate Hunting Fishing’s ongoing support, and remind hunters that the deadline to go in the draw is 31 August 2015.
In a rather cold winter these jackets are an appealing article of clothing up for grabsfor only a small amount of effort.” Hunting Fishing New Zealand Marketing Manager Andy Tannock says that he can only echo Fish Game’s appeal.“We have thrown our support behind the banding programme for a couple of years running because we are well aware of the potential benefits for all.
