what a wild hunt. i’ve hunted the great lakes and in some nasty conditions, but that stuff up there is insane. but those ducks are super beautiful.

Thank you for watching. Yes, just getting to St. Paul Island, and then getting back home is an adventure as Mother Nature pins you down with weather. It's an experience that stays with your for ever.

The king eiders are least concern but the numbers go down, but the video was amazing

[@AlaskaOutdoorsTV]

King Eider population is very healthy for the Alaska coastal routes and provide sought after protein for many of the coastal villages. :-)

Nice shooting bro

Fun trip for sure. Thank you for watching.

Honest question I’ve been dying to know! What do you do with the birds once you have them? They’re absolutely beautiful! Great vid 👍

[@AlaskaOutdoorsTV]

They are not as tasty as a black duck or a mallard because they can have a fishy taste but the locals consider them a delicacy. Most all sea ducks can be eaten tho serious waterfowl enthusiasts will keep one for taxidermy.

Where do I sign up? This is a dream hunt.

Thanks for watching! Our friends at Alaska Eider Outfitters run a top notch operation. alaskaneideroutfitters.com

Need a Chesapeake Bay Retriever for that job.

Thank you for watching. 🙌That would be a bonus but no dogs of any kind are allowed on St. Paul Island in any capacity. "The US Secretary of Commerce banned dogs in 1917 “In order to prevent the molestation of the fur-seal and fox herds.” Also, dogs can transmit disease to seals and foxes."

Thank you for watching. Super fun but challenging hunt if you ever get a chance to make it out there.
