Swans, Swans and more Swans...

Is there a way to get Swan into an open season or at least an LEH?? I would sure like to try one of them:mrgreen:

[BiG Boar]

Sure, just get enough people together that was a season, and make sure it is a sustainable hunt.

There are rumors of a mute swan season coming some time.

Just stand near powerlines.

South dakota and North Carolina allows Tundra swan hunting.

On M2D'S waterfowl madness they shot one, and DAMN they are BIG! I think an LEH would be good, even though I don't seem to get other LEH draws.

I was cruzin the Fraser yesterday, there was probably 60 -90 swans on the river yesterday day. Better yet there was about 1000 ducks out and about, they seemed to know the season was closed as they didn't take off until I was with in 50 ft of them. So many mallard drakes, the natives at sumas where shooting like mad men. No end of season for them!

No kidding, the duck are like maggots now!! As for the Swans, the field I hunt out Harrison way had at least 100 or so. I though goose shat was big!!

You should see the swans here in the Comox Valley. Eating cull potatoes and digging up the fields, kinda of cool seeing soo many and thinking that they were almost eradicated from commercial hunting.:-? You do see the odd tundra swan amongst the Trumpeters.not hard to pick them out.

Anyone have any insight on how a swan tastes?

I know there is a push to have a season for sandhill cranes in Ontario and if their nickname "Ribeye in the sky" is anything close I will definitely look forward to that.
I just wonder the benefits of hunting a swan.

[TexasWalker]

Swans taste like shite.

[Foxton Gundogs]

Swans taste alright, prettymuch like goose, but I wouldnt hold my breath on a season here you cant even get a crop protection permit on them
