So I drew a tundra swan tag for North Dakota this year... I should have no problem getting one, since every year I have the opportunity to shoot dozens there.

I killed many years ago, but it tasted like a crap. The only reason I tried for a tag this year is to mount one. Anyone had one mounted before and recommend a taxidermist? I've found a couple online, but I haven't settled on one yet.

I'm thinking a flying mount hung from the ceiling would be cool Once I have one mounted, I see no reason to ever shoot another.

Many years ago I would watch swans everyday looking for one with a neck collar while hunting in ND. Seen a few collars however they did not fly over me. As you know they are about as easy to kill as a deer at night.

This is mine in the final stages. Friend of mine from NC is doing it.

I've been lucky enough to see hundreds of them when I lived in NC
But I never pulled a tag.

I shot the Utah state record tundra swan last year. fugger was HUGE! they do taste like asshole but they sure are fun to hunt. Keep us updated on how you do! Good Luck!!

I like cooked Swan. Put the cubed up breast in the slow cooker with onion, gravey mix, soy sauce and cook for 1/2 a day. Or cubed fry it off with fish sauce then into a pan with curry powder, coconut cream, cubed potatoes, sweet chilly sauce, tomato paste and salt. Cook at 150c for 4 hours. Melt in your mouth.
