Well we just got back and i can say it was cold, wet, and completely different style of hunting, but it was AWESOME..we shot quite a few birds each day between 12-20, but never just murdered them. Best part is we all got the birds we wanted and brought plenty back to mount. I personally killed Common Eiders, Old Squall, Surf Scoters, White Wing Scoters, Atlantic Brant, and the only Black Scoter of the trip. Would highly recommened the outfitter Ramsey Russel with GetDucks.com and the guide service Capitan Adam Smith with Perfect Limit guide Service.....Hope you like the pics

My Dad, Brother, and buddy Lane with a nice Drake Eider and 2 Drake Old Squall...Lane def shot the best one of the trip with probably a 10-12 inch sprig

Dang you are over by Logan/Bunker Hill. Recognize State Street Bank in the background. Good time but look cold.

Great Pics and birds thanks for sharing

Nice. I want to do that sometime. Oh yea and they are Old Squaws.

Yeah we were hunting right in the Harbor by Logan ....and i we renamed them Squalls, cause they seemed to only fly when the wind was roaring.

Is that bunker hill area in the background on second picture? Make me shiver thinking about how cold it can get there. Spent one winter there in Boston Naval Ship Yards. Ship went boilers cold and was under repairs and we had no steam for heat. LOL. It was cold. Cracking ice going out of Boston Bay headed for Iceland /NA in Febuary

Looks like that was a heck of a good time and good hunt. Congratulations.

I have an invidiousness of hate for you now BTW.

Didn't know you could hunt in the harbor. That's awesome as my wife's family still lives in Charlestown. We're you hunting from the breakers or boat? Or both. Any hassle getting your shotguns into Boston?

Gotcha.

Really cool. Its defanetly on my bucket list. Thanks for sharing

Yeah we both from the rocks and the boat, no trouble with the guns...its was def cold though...Thanks John

Nice pics. That sure is a neat adventure up there. Some great scenery.

We made a trip up there a few years back with Reilly McCue. Getting out on that water definitely redefines cold. Lots of history in the area too. Yall get a chance to pick up any of the sea glass or old china that washes up on the banks out in the harbor?

Nice shoot...no we didnt get out much on the beaches, def alot of history in the town though, and some very cool old buildings.

That sounds like a very fun travel hunt!

[Definitely a cool place to hunt. I've had great trips with Reilly both times. That negative windchill is no fun though.

Make sure you use a taxidermist that knows some of the "tricks" of mounting eiders. Shane smith, todd Huffman, brad laaker.

It took me a few to gettem down.

Dude that is a sick mount...I am gonna try something along that line with the three scoter species i shot...not sure on the others yet.

THe guy in you last pic with a camo beanie's name isnt Bryan Spence is it????....if not looks just like a guy i went to highschool with.
