Atlantic Brant (Pics)
Brant are ocean going geese and are just absolutely fantastic graceful flyers.

There are 4 sub-species of Brant Geese:
- Branta bernicla bernicla
- Branta bbernicla orientalis
- Branta bernicla hrota
- Branta bernicla nigricans

I took these pics of the Branta bernicla hrota (also known as Atlantic Brant) on the Atlantic Coast. We are so lucky that we are allowed to hunt them in the United States. Limit is usually low on these birds but they are really a lot of fun to hunt.

As always, just your standard Great photo's.
Well done.

I always enjoy looking at eastern hunting where you hunt in town. Can't believe you don't have protesters at the boat ramp.

"Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading" - Thomas Jefferson

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. 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......

"If you're being chased by a Lion, you don't have to be faster than the Lion, you just have to be faster than the person next to you."

Awesome pics, and agree on the noble brant's grace and agility. Unfortunately for them and perhaps fortunately for those that hunt them, they had the door closed in their faces at the counter where they were giving out smarts and wariness characteristics. They'll decoy readily to damned near anything. Wink
