In Goose hunting world, this is kind of a big deal

Mike got his first banded goose. He was so excited! Many good goose hunters have necklaces with 20 or more of these. It is considered lucky. I think you are just lucky if you get a goose, and he is not alive when you get home. If your goose has a band you have to call an 800# and report the ID number. Then they send you a certificate. Pretty cool stuff.
