    Atlantic Brant hunt

    All~ I second Greg's thoughts. Brant are a truly special bird and I am very thankful that I have had them throughout my personal and professional lives. I have hunted them on Long Island since I was 15 (72 now) and worked with them in my role as a DEC biologist - Fall surveys and Winter...
