Brants are really good. Mine are coming home to the taxidermist. Modin says the GE are really good. Most of these birds are hitting clam beds, so I'm betting there aren't the best to eat. The Chinese folks fishing at the docks when we came back must have been real hungry or just love ducks. We gave them all to them. Never cleaned a bird the entire trip, which was fine with me. Was a trip to bring back some Brants, Scoters, Greater Scaup, Commons and possibly a Barrow's GE back to the taxidermist. Saw a Barrows, but didn't get a shot at him.

Hunted with a buddy of mine that lives in the Bay area. Already working on a trip back next fall, with a bonus trip to Nevada to knock out another state.
