Posting this for reference. There are 3 sub-species of Brant Goose: 1) Dark-bellied Brant 2) Light-bellied Brant 3) Black Brant There are many biologists out there who would love to declare each of these sub-species into full species. While some are at it, they would have you believe that "Grey Brant" is also a species. Hell they may want to make each of these populations which breed in a different area and winter in a different area their own species. Case in point, "Oriental Brant", "Eastern High-Arctic Brant", and the "Western High-Arctic Brant". I believe three sub-species is probably enough for the Brant. Rest of the "imaginative" sub-species (insert  icon) could be intergrades between these three sub-species.  | ||

Dark-bellied Brant breed in Siberia and winter in North-west Europe including coastal England. 99% of brant killed on the Atlantic side of USA are Light-bellied...this year there is a 2 bird limit. Although in some years we have had 3 bird limit as well. | |||

For some reason I have always wanted to hunt Brant. I just never seem to get around to it. Too bad because I'm right on the Chesapeake Bay and I can get into them fairly close to where I am. I think I need to realign my priorities this winter! | |||

Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......
