Love those brants. They come down here to Morro Bay in winter and after a long migration south to get here, they get shot at while trying to recuperate for a long migration back the other way. I'm not anti-hunting at all, but as our human population grows and formerly natural areas become suburban housing, perhaps some areas should be closed to shooting. If I was still hunting, I would go after the big Canadians as they are pests anyway, and more meat on em.Brant are so cool - they have been known to make nonstop transoceanic flights from Alaska to the West Coast and even Mexico. They nest in the Yukon/Kuskokwim Delta so I'm guessing they're slowly working their way north.
