Back on topic-

I would like to get a band. But I also know I may never get one. I dont care all that much, I hunt for the pleasure of it, a band is nice but not the end all.

AT, I dont think I have a 50/50 chance of getting one. I live in an area that is out of a main flyway. Jarbo has shot hundreds of them here over a 20 year period and has like 2-3.

Quanatative analysis would indicate that the odds are much lower than 50/50....

Nope. 50/50 chance the first bird you shoot this year will be banded.

The law has spoken.

$50 says it wont have a band on it. If it does, I will send you $100

Do you believe in your law enough to lay down some cash?

50/50 chance at 2/1 payout odds sounds like a really good bet. You got my $50 ready?

1 out of approximately every 125 geese I've shot have been banded, I have 7 of them.

0 out of 1500+ ducks have been banded, they are a myth.

No, but I will bet two tomato plants, a handfull of radishes, and some prime pork grease against your fifty dollars that you are wrong. Nevermind, by the time this is settled your fifty will be worthless.

Science never proves anything either. It just helps us along. This AT 50/50 law fully binds our feet from making any sort of egress. Shame on your axiom AT.

It depends upon whether or not the old "coin flip" analogy gets too old. Maybe Oprah would have him on for a boost. IDK.

The coin flip analogy does nothing but buttress the factuality of the law. Just as much chance that it'll land on its edge as that it'll be heads. 50/50. It will land on edge, or it won't.

And yet, you dont want to make that 50/100 bet with me on the first duck I shoot this season having a band.
