As far as I know NC is the only state that allows swan hunting? It's a tag system - they issue approximately 5,000. Not that hard to get, actually. The hunting is easy as we have big numbers of birds - and as they don't get hunted that hard, they decoy and call in very easily. It's all about access and most use a guide - there are dozens of guides who book swan hunts usually at less than $100/person. Hunts are usually done by 8am unless you're waiting to pick out a bird with a band. I've never had the desire to shoot a swan, but most of my friends fill their tag each year.
As far as seasons - quail is in till the end of the month.... |

So here I am talking to an old friend in British Columbia and I mention a mutual friend in Regina who has a few Parkers that he has fixed up and is now really into Parkers. I had sent him to my old friend with the idea that he could pick up a few Parkers. Well now I hear that he bought a whole bunch of them , he must be one of the larger Parker collectors in Canada. The guns from Ron needed a little TLC but Ron didn't acquire junk , so CONGRATULATIONS JACK. I am absolutely pleased for you and know that you have some fine shooter Parkers.
By the way, I am buying the very nice , very collectible Lefever from our friend. Lots of case colors, everything right about the gun, a light 12, all the adjustments, even trigger pressure adjustments, highly figured wood. I know its not a Parker, but...... |

I went on a Swan shoot in NC several years ago.I was pretty dissapointed,sort of like shooting a Great Blue Heron. We set up out in the bay with some decoys, there were guite a few flights of birds, and they all responded to the call , flew right over us. Not much of a challenge .

David, some of the big six foot tall swans with the red throats come through a little west of here. Could be a challenge with them. Called Trumpeter Swans.

Swan hunting is legal in S.D., N.D., Montana and Utah. I hunted them in S.D. a couple years ago, my experience is they are suckers for decoys/calls. We shot the first two we saw, decoyed half way across a BIG lake straight into two Swan decoys. I'd not recommend going twice.
