In order to stay legal while waterfowl hunting, and not shoot waterfowl that aren't legal, you need to practice identifying ducks in the off season.

Virginia Goose Banding
Several years ago I had the opportunity to go on a goose hunting trip with one of my business associates in January. The weather was cold, the wind was bitter and we spent the entire day in the goose blind talking about life and drinking coffee and hot chocolate and we even killed some geese. The action that day was slow but the camaraderie was exceptional. Over the last several years I have tried to open up my schedule to include more of these hunts and some years have been good and others have not worked out as well.
This year I already have several trips planned to get out for Goose and Waterfowl hunts and I thought I would start off the season volunteering for a day of goose banding with the fine folks from the VGDIF and VAWFA . Audrey(my middle daughter) and I got up on Tuesday and headed out to meet the folks and by 7:45 we had already banded 40 geese just down the road.

The Kruncher Call From Hunter’s Specialties
Deer are always on high alert and tuned into their surroundings. The Kruncher™ Deer Call from Hunter’s Specialties® calms deer and plays on a whitetail’s feeding instinct.
The Kruncher is a compact, handheld call that simulates the sound of deer feeding on acorns. This natural sound relaxes deer in the immediate vicinity of your stand. It can also call in other deer that think there is food available. It calms spooked deer, stimulates deer to feed and stops deer in a relaxed manner.
Just like imitating a deer’s grunt or recreating the rattling of antlers, the sound of a whitetail feeding on acorns can cause a positive reaction. While grunting and rattling can generate emotions of anger and aggression, The Kruncher has the opposite effect. It calms spooked deer. The sound of crunching acorns actually stimulates deer to feed and puts them into a relaxed state.
Just as the rut vocalizations (bleat, grunt, snort wheeze) have meaning and are recognized sounds, so does the sound of chewing and grinding. The difference is that it is linked to the most frequent sound a whitetail experiences (feeding sounds) and can be used aggressively the entire season.
Through testing in the woods, hunters were repeatedly amazed that whitetails of all sizes and varieties had the same calm and relaxed reaction to The Kruncher. Even deer that had been spooked by other sights and sounds would relax in just seconds upon hearing The Kruncher. They would return to the source of the sound again and again.
The Kruncher is a vital part of your calling arsenal. This unique call comes with a user-friendly attaching device to keep things simple when deer are in close and hunters can’t afford mistakes. It sells for a suggested retail price of $9.99.
