    Re: sea ducks

    Tried to get out this year but right when we had planned on going out the fog was so thick for about 10 straight days we couldnt make it happen. After that we chased geese more and then duck season ended.

    Not sure about their numbers up here but it really seems like more and more guys are hunting them in washington. You see alot of limits of scoters on the washington refuge from a bunch of different guys, a couple guiding services too. 1 harli a year though compared to up here I'd say theres 100 times more guys hunting sea ducks down there then up here.
    1st Im in charge, and if not Matt is. Your job is to sign checks, tell us we're doing good and open your case of scotch after a good day. 2nd my fee. You can keep it, all I want in exchange for my service is the right to hunt all the drakes. A male. Buck only. Why and how are my business. If you don't like it, go alone. Set up right here or in a swamp or in the middle of a noshoot field for all I care. I've been on too many duck hunts with rich dentists to listen to any more suicidal ideas. Ok?

    fog is really good if you scout them before hand. they want to land on you.

    Does a cream sauce go good with the rock?

    Re: sea ducks

    I didn't get out for seas ducks this year at all, with the freeze on this winter It was pretty hot for puddlers so I never bothered going off shore. Was hoping to do a bluebill hunt but this gives me a year to get things ready for next fall.
