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

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?

Be careful what you decide to not like. Your wife may wear one. Your son may ride one. Your daughter may bring one home. You may have to have one someday.

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

think that keeping the rye paste and pitching the rest would be best recipe!

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.
