My Trophy Swan Hunt!

This wasnt my 1st swan or largest by any means. I have a banded swan on the wall I killed years ago in the snow BUT...the real trophy was this past wknd on the NCHF Swan hunt.

Why? My 4 old daughter Elia joined me. She hung in there for a few hrs why birds were slow to come off roost..but did allow me to sling a few arrows. Soon she got her hands and feet wet by playing in the ditch although she had been warned. Result? Freezing cold, crying and begging to go home. So, I broke out the 12 ga and popped the 1st one I had a chance at.

Trophy was her being w me (had been on dove hunts before) and that after recovering from the cold she was asking to go hunt swans again! Heck she asked that before we even got out of Plymouth

P.s. Great memories with good people..thanks Mike, Andy, etc. Zombie I wish we were still there when you killed that dinosaur sized swan..congrats man!

Always a great time when you have you kid with you. A co-worker and I was just talking Tuesday how the love you have for your child is something you can't put into words at all!

Great memories for both you & your daughter for years to come. I always have the best time taking my daughter fishing even if we catch anything or not. You are certainly raising your daughter right!
