Here are a couple more
This is the entire crew
 

This young man is Cole. He is the one that closed out the swan that stood around in the decoys. I think it was his first trad kill. It was pretty cool to watch him.

Cool! So do swans taste the same as a duck or goose?

What kind of lead-free heads were you using?

What distance do you think the birds were that you got?  Sure looks like a great time.

That's AWSOME!!!!!! and some really good shooting, I duck and goose hunt with a shotgun and sometimes they are hard to hit with them.
I've always wanted to try geese with a bow.
Were you using broadheads?, flu-flu's or regular arrows?

When everybody runs out of arrows we just take a break, and go pick them out. The birds were so thick they were trying to land in the decoys when were picking up arrow. We counted them up at the hotel last night and I think we lost about 10.
Cool.  :D

Great job Scott. I gotta apply for a permit this year and give it a try. It's not far at all from me. DB

They call sandhill crane the "Ribeye in the sky". I'll bet tundra swan is more like "Sizzler steak in the clouds"  :jumper:

Nice, thanks for showing. Looks like y'all had some fun. Good to see so many folks with traditional equipment. Glad another generation is joining in.
Way to go!

Awseome!
Its not the size of the animal you hunt that matters. Its how you hunt the animal.
