Had one stay in Iredell county for a week several years ago
We have one that flys in and stays in lake Brandt in Greensboro every year.

I remember one year we had 3 come into a creek we were hunting on high rock during the October season. Have seen them on Shearon Harris more than once. Saw a couple flying around lake norman a few years ago in January while fishing. Had a whole flock fly over in caswell in year while deer hunting and the furthest inland I’ve ever seen any was in Davie county. We have more swans than ducks these days lol

now how did you see them flying around lake normal but the furthest inland you’ve seen them was Davie County? Just how far AROUND LKN did you see them fly

I've seen a few in central nc but it's a rarity for sure...sounds far-fetched but I heard some sandhill cranes fly over while turkey hunting cpl years back

I saw one in Columbus County, not far from Lake Waccamaw, in January of 1999. Remember it well because I had a permit. It was literally in the field beside my house. The only time my wife ever asked me not to Kill something. She was actually in labor with our daughter. I still give her a hard time about being selfish. Amazingly my daughter went on her first waterfowl hunt in 2019 and absolutely loves it. She claims that swan was a "sign" of things to come.

Not really too far fetched. Southeast Tennessee is a major wintering ground for sandhills, Im sure a few stray off course.

The lake i was moose hunting in last month had a swan there, sure made us scratch our heads while glassing the shoreline and that bright white bird showing itself, had to go investigate to make sure

I always get a permit when we go out west hunting but the only ones I see are a mile high migrating. But a real hunt with decoys would be fun. They're pretty smart from what I hear

I had davie county and lkn turned around. I meant iredell(lkn) was the furthest inland I had ever seen them. My post made nonsense lol

The traditional wintering grounds in and around L. Mattamuskeet has changed perhaps due to the poor water quality of the lake itself. We have had them here in Bladen for quite a few years now.
Heading to Kansas the first part of December for cranes. Should be a lot of fun.

There is a population of them that winter around the Roanoke. See a couple hundred every year and have had them land not far from where I am set up multiple times
