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?

We counted them up at the hotel last night and I think we lost about 10.
Cool.  :D

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!
