This is a King Eider that ran into our mast while longling for Cod in the Bering Sea.

Eider

You have a real trophy there. Hunts for those are $3,000+ and its hit and miss. That is truly the trophy bird of North America. Some of the hardest birds to hunt for sure!

Thank you for telling me the correct spelling, I really appreciate it so that I dont make a fool of myself in the future. Thank you---BugaBoo

P.S. Is it really that much to hunt these things? Then In the wrong business (fishing), I should just charter hunts and I could make a lot more.

Check these boys out. They are the go to authority on taking the Nigra V pacific Eider and the King Eider in Alaska. They have lots of hunts posted over on duckhunter.net. It's spendy and dangerous but these guys get it done!

one of the nastiest birds I've ever had the displeasure of skinning out.
I would never eat one.

looks like they can put guys on some good birds judging by this pic

teal101 · « **Reply #16 on:** November 25, 2009, 11:11:01 AM »

I'm saving my pennies. One of these days I'll get to do that hunt.

Bugaboo · « **Reply #17 on:** November 25, 2009, 02:12:55 PM »

Man they look cold. But that was an awesome hunt. How far off the Islands do they have to get?

I get to see this beautiful creature of god everyday. It not only is the trophy bird of North America, it is the trophy animal of the world. Beautiful beautiful beautiful.

ICEMAN · « **Reply #19 on:** November 29, 2009, 04:13:43 PM »

Bugaboo, just curious, how did you keep the bird in such great shape and preserve it on the boat? How long till you got it to your taxidermist?

alecvg · « **Reply #20 on:** November 29, 2009, 08:11:35 PM »

Wow, gorgeous bird!

There was a single one hanging out towards Birch Bay last season.. The only one I saw, but I believe it may have been harvested last year. Good looking bird. Everyonce in a while they make there way down.
