Swans and Parkers were made for each other.

I ended up making chili out of the swan and served it over rice, which was good. I had a few pieces out of skillet and it was not bad(but not great) on it's own. I wouldn't call it a delicacy, but I enjoyed it.

That is nice to see that they make bismuth in #BB. I need to order some in #4 anyway, it would be interesting to see how bismuth BBs compare to ITX BBs.

If I can put some time aside I will write up the hunting trip with some background on the Tundra Swan and include more pictures for a possible Parker Pages article.
