First Swan

The predicted storm for Friday was too much for me to handle.  I had to leave work to go chase some ducks and swans.  Todd took off early with me.  We headed out to Harold Crane and got set up.  We had borrowed a couple swan decoys from Ryan Stratford.  We had been set up about an hour and watched hundreds of swans fly over when all of a sudden one of the groups turns and starts dropping our way. They set up right over the decoys, feet down.  Todd pulled up and dropped one on his first shot.  3" 2-shot Winchester Xperts, who says you need a big shell to kill a swan?  Chase made a perfect retreive on it too.  He ran out and picked it right up.  Stratfords met us out there later and then the ducks started flying.  We ended up with 18 and the swan.
