Well I just checked the Draw status and We didn't get a swan tag this year, Crud. I'll miss that hunt, it's a kick. SO not killing all that time trying for a swan I have more time to kill geese. Honkers man there fun too just smaller and I can shoot 6 a day. The early ducking sucks but the geese are already here and honking. I have around 1000 steel shells loaded for water foul for the boy and his wife and me, we should be good for the season ( end of September to mid January).d  ------------- Remember: Four boxes keep us free ,the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, AND the cartridge box |

One of my all time best water fowl dinners was a crispy
roasted early season goose. The skin was roasted crispy with the fat melted and 'mostly' run off. The meat was fall apart tender and the fat in the pan over mashed potato was to die for. How does a swan cook up compared to a nicely roasted goose? ------------- samchap - Waldoboro, ME Be careful what you decide to not like. Your wife may wear one. Your son may ride one.

OK. Sorta like cormorant here on the coast. Something you
try ...once. Baked Swan Old Elizabethan Recipe To bake a Swan Scald it and take out the bones, and parboil it, then season it very well with Pepper, Salt and Ginger, then lard it, and put it in a deep Coffin of Rye Paste with store of Butter, close it and bake it very well, and when it is baked, fill up the Vent-hole with melted Butter, and so keep it; serve it in as you do the Beef-Pie ------------- samchap - Waldoboro, ME Be careful what you decide to not like.

Well.....local cormorant cooking wisdom involves putting a
brick into the pot with it and when it is done throw it out and eat the brick. OBTW, They taste like really raunchy fishy liver. ------------- samchap - Waldoboro, ME Be careful what you decide to not like. Your wife may wear one. Your son may ride one.
