Just curious if any of you guys have hunted them out of state or more importantly has anyone ate them, if so, how do they taste? "You cant manage a deer herd with acorns." -Dr. Craig Harper

He mounted it for him but at his house not his shop.

I’ve seen them up close and from far away in Canada and there is no mistaking what they are. Really big and awesome sight to see. They are normally the last to migrate south and the guys up north know the hunting is about to get great right before freeze up.

The guys there used tundra decoys, PITA to tote and put out but made a big difference as pressured ducks would work better with them. The one thing is so did the swans. Huge is understatement when there over the top of you at less than 10 feet. Cool experience and their little noises they make for their size is kinda weird. “Socialism only works in two places: Heaven where they don't need it and hell where they already have it.” ― Ronald Reagan

Not many chances to hunt them back then. https://www.visitnc.com/listing/ay7Q/mattamuskeet-national-wildlife-refuge-lake-mattamuskeet Retired US Navy Corpsman Life is too short to hunt with any ugly dog!
