very nice drake bufflehead at the top!!! and I can see the drake goldeneye on the left starting to get its color! way cool! I see a lot of both these species over on the Columbia River where I hunt most of the time in North Central Washington.

If I shoot another bufflehead that looks that good I would like to have a mount done. Those birds have a lot more color than the photos captured. BTW I didn't kill these recently.

That's true. I agree with all you said. Although I would shoot another one for a mount. They were a little trouble getting cleaned and skinned. They also decoy really well.

Yes they swarm. However I have seen more surf scoters out on the salts than any other duck.

dont have a big enough boat to go out on the salt so our access is pretty limited
looks like a lot of fun though
trying to look for a spot to hunt on the hood canal and i have no problem taking the float tube out after them
