I saw this in the Evt. Herald FYI---I have not hunted in years, but wanted to pass this along

Brant: Enough brant -- about 9,200 -- were counted on Samish, Fidalgo, and Padilla bays to open a limited hunting season Thursdays and Saturdays, Jan. 20, 22, 24, 26 and 27, with a limit of two birds. The count is roughly equal to the long-term average, and better than the 6,100 birds which showed up last winter.

The hunt for the small, dark geese is a relatively sophisticated, specialized one, often involving owned or leased permanent blinds. About 1,500 hunters register for the hunt every year, needing a harvest card and written authorization to participate.

Jeff you hunting now or just fishin. Give a brotha a call sometime
