During that hunt, Bold Coast had teamed up with Marsh River Outfitters and we hunted with guides from both. It looks like Bold Coast has been sold since our hunt, but I would not hesitate go book a hunt with Marsh River. Marsh River Outfitters also offers trapline packages!

He comes highly recommended and is a very experienced captain that will put you on the Eiders and other sea ducks. Gotta live up to the nickname...

Back in the seventies, I watched a show, probably Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom or Wide World of Animals, where people netted eider ducks and plucked the down from their breasts and then let them go. People also.took down from their nests. The best down was plucked straight from the ducks into burlap sacks. Keith
