:chuckle:

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!

Post by: ICEMAN 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?

Post by: alecvg on November 29, 2009, 08:11:35 PM: Wow, gorgeous bird!

Post by: h2ofowlr on November 29, 2009, 10:12:52 PM: 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.
