Fellow water fowlers; If you've never hunted sea ducks before on the east coast, (Atlantic Eider, 3 species of Scoters, Old Squaw/longtails)or brant), here's your chance. I have two experienced guides in the Boston area who take these birds daily. Randy Drago and Cullen Lundholm both offer daily hunts (no hunting in MA on Sunday) for sea ducks, and brant. (season for the coastal unit closes Jan 30th) Note: Next year the USF&W has proposed closing the brant season for an unspecified time; reduce the hunting days and limits on sea ducks (currently 7* Singly or in the aggregate, no more than 4 scoter, 4 eider, but no more than 1 hen, 4 long-tailed duck [oldsquaw] in the daily bag.).

I have personally hunted numerous times in the areas and have taken many trophy birds. You would drive or fly to Boston (Logan) and stay in Amesbury with Randy or Sandwich with Cullen. I have motel accommodation info for both. Randy charges $250 per day for morning hunts (usually ends at 11am-12 noon or when a limit of birds has been taken) and Cullen gets $300 per day (hunts until the limit is taken or your ready to come in). I can give you info for transporting trophy birds home via airlines or vehicle if needed. Both can host 1-3 hunters daily. Beginning Monday, January 11th all dates are open until closure on the 30th.

As for license, Non-Residents:
-Small game license ($65.50)
-Waterfowl Stamp ($5.00)
-Federal Duck Stamp ($25)
-HIP survey (free)

This will be the last year for liberal limits on sea ducks and could see the closure on brant for several years (currently the limit is 1 brant per day, 3 possession)

Message me for additional information on dates, references or photo's. Good hunting and be safe on the water! LDK

It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......
