Swan Hunting in Currituck

[Treefrog1Tiburon5]

only beat by the day i shot my trophy mule deer, the day i got my swan was the best day of my life. finly drew a tag this year, swan hear i come.

[brennan2k9]

thats how it workes.. there good vids keep them coming mate..

[brennan2k9]

why shoot swans when theres loads other species to shoot in amarica i dont get it..

[Rubberhead]

@brennan2k9 Why shoot other species when it's legal to hunt swans?

[brennan2k9]

@Rubberhead i get your point. whats the bag limit on swans is it the same as geese or can you shoot as many as you want??

[Rubberhead]

@brennan2k9 The limit is one per year, if you get draw for a swan tag. Their population has soared since legal hunting for swans started in 1985. It's really a success story.

[funnyvidsmaster12]

@brennan2k9 heres some reasons:

they are big birds

they are IMPOSSIBLE to miss

and its fun to shoot them.

[joshstoep]

what is the name of the group playing the music and the title of the track in the video?



[creamtt]

In my country if you get caught harming these birds you would more than likely get a prison sentence, they are considered far to good for the peasants, and only royalty are allowed to eat them......

[kencan98]

Ever since the day a swan tipped me over in my Kayak I've always felt the need to shoot one. Here's a warning though...If you shoot a swan overhead and it lands on you, you're both dead!

[cdubc123]

nice video man i do alot of hunting in currituck mostly bear duck deer and rabbit never been swan hunting but looks like alot of fun! nice video

[trapperdreww]

can you only shoot one per flock?

[NChuntingvlog]

@trapperdreww In NC the limit is one per season, that is if you are a lucky one to get drawn for a tag.

[Mininni08]

@NChuntingvlog I agree, you are a champion and my hero

[spearo92]

[edgeshane]

[mdsr2002]

good hunt

[mauricenanalook]

Good hunts... I don't really hunting them up here in Alaska though. Well, every now and then... They got some tough meat on them... But still.... Good Eaten..

[chevysr4me8]

were at in currituck are u at i hunt out of coinjock and popular branch looking forward to this season

[TrophySportsmen]

Great hunt, and awesome video. Thanks for sharing!

[virtualhope]

Do you have to clean all of them when you are finished hunting?

[Rubberhead]

If you are talking about the swans we kill, then the answer is "yes". Swan are good eating. We keep all the breast meat, thights and legs and even use the neck bone to make a soup.

The annual limit is one if you get drawn. I've killed either five or six since 2000. My son has killed two.

[TrophySportsmen]

What make/model shot guns, and what size shot were you using? Thanks

[Rubberhead]

There's one taken with a .410 shooting #6 Bismuth. Most are taken with high speed #2 steel in 12 gauge guns.

My son killed his with a 20 gauge youth model 870 shooting #2 Fasteel.  I didn't get the shot on camera, but filmed him picking the bird up. He killed another with the same gun last season.

[TrophySportsmen]

I applied for a Tundra Swan license in North Carolina, hopefully I get one. I just purchased a Remington 887 Nitro Mag that I'm looking forward to taking waterfowl hunting.

[Rubberhead]

Let me know if you get drawn - I've got two top-notch guides with great access to private property.

[sledrider121]

@TrophySportsmen that remington you bought was the best buy of your life i have one and they rock

[lewandlo]

I felt the ground shake when it hit...lol

[virtualhope]

noob

[virtualhope]

there such beutiful creatures why kill them?

[Rubberhead]

First I'll help with the grammar:

"They're such beautiful creatures. Why kill them?"

Now the answer:

Tundra swans are beautiful and their populations are healthy enough to support well-regulated, legal hunting.

[b1ankuberalles]

Because they taste good... ;P

[jdubbink98]

good vid but you could cut the time in 1/2 if you took out all the shots of the guys holding the 3 dead swans.

[jonasalstrup]

how do thay taste..?

[360nightmare]

Awesome video, they must be hard to miss with the size of them. I live in the UK and if we were caught shooting we would get put away for like 10 years.

[Rubberhead]

I normally delete comments like yours but I have decided to leave it as testimony to the intellect of non-hunters.

Yes, we are red necks. No, we knew exactly what we were shooting. We are perfectly legal and ethical.

I'm sorry that you struggle expressing yourself with words. I suggest some activities to improve your vocabulary. Maybe a third grade teacher can help you after class.

[cruisecap1244]

wut the fuck do you think im in grade 2 or something!

IM IN FUCKING HIGH SCHOOL! WHAT THE FUCK MAN!

[16vt]

Way to make Rubberheads point for him! lol

[jhhunter202]

wow awsome i wish here in pa we could hunt swans

[shionfan101]

what kind of swan did ya hunt?

[Rubberhead]

[43447]

1.38........................da­mmit!!!!

[CHADMUTHAFUCKINPALEN]

I wish we could kill swans out here in california but we can't GAY!!!

[chukar86]

come over the hill to nevada we can kill 2 per season. you can by tags over the counter.

[tylortall]

very nice VIDEO.2 thumbs up....

[jakedude11]

was that a 410 he was using at 2:50

because im bring one when i go pheasant hunting in arkansas

[Rubberhead]

Yes it was a single shot .410, but we are very careful. It was a close shot at the head only. Most shots at pheasant are going away. It would be hard to kill a big wild bird with a body shot, but not impossible.

[jakedude11]

TY

lol

[MadBadVoodo]

Love the vid! Does Swan taste like Goose?

5/5

[Rubberhead]

I don't think so. Swan has a unique "musky" flavor that I believe comes from what they usually eat. It's not necessarily bad, but it noticable and different from the snow and canada geese I've eaten. The leq quarters of a swan are really great roasted. I usually make jerky out of the breast meat.

[MadBadVoodo]

Cool! Thanks 4 the info!!
