My buddies and I just got back from a three day speckle belly hunt in Idaho, had one good day of shooting out of three had a great place to stay with a 25 minute drive to the goose fields. The high point of the trip for me was taking my first mature speckle belly which just happened to be a banded male. The outfitter text the number in and with in an hr or so sitting in our layout blinds had the birds history which said he was banded in Alaska in 2007 and was at least 2 years old. That made the old boy at least 11 years old, just think of the miles that old boy has covered, I was so tickled. He will have a special place in our home. Had a great time with some good friends.
