How do reward bands work?

[UWSPHunter]

reward bands were introduced to encourage the voluntary reporting of banded birds. if you shoot a reward banded bird you call in like you would for a regular band, but for doing so they issue a check. you still get to keep the reward band. just an incentive for helping the banding project

[Greg Ruark Jr.]

:D Only the second banded bird I've shot in 20+ years of gunnin'... The $100 dollars is going to DU.
