When we hunt Sea Ducks we usually have one shooter, one person video tape and one person shoot cripples, or sometimes they do shoot at the birds also. You pretty much need someone assigned to just shoot cripples since they are the cape buffalo of ducks and usually only go down for the count with a bb to the brain.

Picture a Goldeneye on steroids and that is an Eider.
We'd laugh when cleaning birds since you could pick them up by the bill and shake them and shot would fall out of them like rain. Seems like the famed Eiders down acts like a bullet proof vest.
