Alaska Sea Duck hunting Species We Hunt

King Eider Sea ducks

Drake King Eider Sea Ducks (Somateria spectabilis) are regal in appearance and average 23 inches in length. They are identified from other male eider Sea ducks by the red bill and large orange frontal lobe extending from the bill up to the forehead. This lobe is outlined in black which sets off the pale blue-gray top half of the head and sea-green shaded cheeks. While the king eider has a white chest like the common eider, kings have black backs. We allow each hunter to take 2 Alaska Drake King Eider Sea ducks per hunt.

Alaska Harlquin Sea ducks

The male Alaska harlequin Sea duck (Histrionicus histrionicus) is a colorful, compact sea duck inhabiting Alaska's coasts for most of the year. Island X holds one of the healthiest populations of Harlequins and offers great hunting opportunity over decoys for our hunters. Each hunter is allowed 4 harlequin per season included in there total limit of 20 sea ducks total.

Weather at Island X

The weather in this part of Alaska is unpredictable and during the winter Alaska sea duck season it can vary from freezing rain to high winds. During January the average daily temperatures range from 15-30 degrees with a few real nice days reaching the mid 30's. So everyone should pack and dress accordingly in layers of Polar fleece with a good rain and wind shell as the outer layer. All Alaska Sea duck hunters should be prepared mentally and physically to hunt in any weather conditions from -20 to +40 degrees Fahrenheit.

Expect it to be windy as the average year round wind blows 12-15mph on island X at the airport during the Sea duck season in January. But this doesn't slow us down as we have gotten used to it and made adjustments in our King Eider & Harlequin Sea duck hunting techniques. 

Please be aware that unexpected storms can move through this area and occasionaly will make our Sea duck hunting grounds unsafe due to large waves and extreme tidal currents this will cause us to cancel daily hunting trips.
