I'm starting to get excited. We've got a Saturday hunt at Conmans. My son has been practicing at our local Sporting Clay place and is ready.

Hope they are seeing them. We are not having any real numbers show up at our place.
Normally they are covering the fields in late Dec and there has been almost nothing.
Good luck.
I plan to try again this weekend. Hope some start showing up.
Hope they are there for you.

Tons of swan there. We could have ended our hunt before we got our decoys set, lol

Swan numbers in NC way down by over half this year from 2017. Juvie production in last 2 years way off too. Gonna loose some permits next year. Hope this trends reverses.
Where did you get your numbers, shurshot? Just curious as the refuge numbers seem about normal.

I don't know anything about numbers but birds were everywhere on my hunt just after Christmas at Conman's. My son shot at 29 with his bow.

The number of birds in my area is still quite high. Have a tough time sleeping at night from the noise of swans on the lake.

Mike, have a friend that monitors waterfowl numbers and is a liaison to the USFWS. He’s in the know.
Ok, thanks.

you should have a good time a couple friends were down there today and all got one.
Need to put in a good word with the Navy and Air Force. Their maneuvers two years ago during our hunt did not help the swan flying. lol
