Just a little wrap up and some photos from our trip! This was a great experience and I would not pass up another opportunity to hunt eiders! Beautiful birds and a beautiful area to hunt them! Captain Len Griner put us on birds every day and we had a great three days of hunting. Mostly bagged eiders, a few scoters and for fun we harvested some buffleheads the last day. That is one hard bird to hit!
Double banded Hen eider. Guide says she could be 10 years old. I have not followed up to see what her band dates were.
A few drakes from day 2! 16 eiders in about 22 minutes, 7 mountable birds!
Shot my birds on day 2 in about 5 minutes. Got the camera out for some fun!
My big bird from day 1. Only mature drake harvested on first day, man was I pumped, I later harvested a mature hen on day 2 and will be getting the pair mounted!
