• Sea ducks are hunted October through early January in Maine. The most common species hunted is the common eider. Longtails and some scoters also are available.
• Safety is a primary concern among sea duck hunters, who often must ply cold, rough waters to reach hunting areas.
• Maine also offers inland duck hunting. But visiting waterfowlers almost exclusively focus on sea ducks, which are big, beautiful and exciting to hunt.
• Outfitter was Eiders Down Inc., owned by Bill Pidgeon. Call 207-546-7167 or visit online at eidersdown.com.
