For about 3 weeks now, there have been 4 tundra swans hanging out at my blind, 2 juvies and 2 adults...i tried to get some pics of them, and only really got one good on. Pretty cool stuff!

Heard of two today just south of the River by the Overton exit. Nice to have them around.

I on the other hand have no problem shooting them ;) No different than shooting geese or any other waterfowl. There are much prettier ducks out there that you harvest, so I'm not sure why people have a hard time swallowing shooting them.

Saw a pair just west of Kearney last week. Those birds are awesome.
As far as that mount, Sorry but that thing is ugly ! Those birds are way better looking than that. Somebody didnt do that thing justice.

To each their own. How many have you killed?

Everyone has their own perception of a quality mount. I don't think it is in the top 1% of mount jobs but probably the top 10%.
