Tietoa common scoterjahdista

The common scoter is a dark sea duck that spends most of the year on open water. Hunting is done from boats or stands in the skerries.

It is tough and requires heavy shot and good precision. Scoters often fly in tight flocks low over the water.

Hunting is often combined with other seabird hunting along the coast.
