January 19th 2012 I connected on the
Bering Sea. Thank you Aleutian Island Outfitters! Thank you to my boat mates Jerry Froelich and Joe Ruggeri.
Jerry had to lend me his shotgun due to mine breaking down. I harvested a beautiful mate pair both adult birds.
I also collected a brace of Harlequin drakes. Great trip anyone interested please call me. |
