I stopped by the taxidermist on the way home yesterday to drop off a duck that I want mounted and there were at least 3 Tundra Swans in various stages of completion; every one of them tagged from that area in North Carolina. Must have been some season down there! Never ceases to amaze me how huge and beautiful they are.

I am a believer in the ITX shot. I hand load it in 12 and 16 gauge for water fowling and have had good success with it. I contacted Ballistic Products about shooting ITX through my 10 gauge lifter with twist barrels that is choked full and full and they recommended against it. They recommended Bismuth.

I wish I had room in my house to do a full body mount of a swan flying and hang it with fishing line from the ceiling. There were a lot of birds and I wish I had taken more pictures. Here is a quick cell phone video to give you an idea of the numbers: https://youtu.be/qEzn0Kqksko
Matt, that is interesting what Ballistic Products said about ITX shot. I had "assumed" it was softer than steel and would be safe in composite barrels. Especially using black powder shells. |
