Choot 'em in the lips Red. Get that chit figured out, then I'll be down there.

Soak them in buttermilk for about 6-10 hours before you cook them, and you won't be able to taste a difference between them and whatever ducks you normally eat.

I've never eaten em Jim, but folks round here callin ribeye of the sky. Supposed to be very tasty. Hopefully by this weekend I'll be able to confirm that

I'm sure its a regional thing. Been hearing brant called that since the day I moved here.

Down in yuba sutter, they call spoonies ribeye of the sky

swan is a mcdouble at best

[assateague]

While I find Brant enjoyable, there's no way I'd call it ribeye in the sky, or anything like that. Unless I'd only ever eaten below average ribeye.

Swan is allegedly awsome to eat, I've heard it's more like tri-tip.

After the lack of sleep this weekend and not being able to get caught up on it this work week, I decided to sleep in this morning. Gonna head out round noon when the tide comes back in for an afternoon scull

[assateague]

I've shot a lot of Brant in the late afternoon. Probably 50/50, afternoon to morning. Around here, they don;t come in to land, they stay out on the bigger water, so it shouldn;t matter too much.

ISolunar says not to bother red, Saturday at 9 am, that's the ticket, might as well have a beer with lunch at the Mexican place and go take a nap

[Redbeard]

Momma's got a girl's weekend to Frisco with a couple of friends this weekend. This Saturday's outta the question. Yours truly has got the varmints

[jehler]

Checking Expedia for tickets to Frisco....
Where she staying red?

at least this'll now be an inexpensive trip for me

No dice on the brant today. Had a good time and got to practice my sculling quite a bit. But there weren't any brant around. Tried sculling some widgeon but I kept getting caught up in thick eel grass. That was a bitch. Then the wind picked up and I had a rough row back to the truck.

I gotta say though for anyone who's never done it, it's just cool being out there
