Tundra Swans winter in the eastern part of North Carolina and one of the few places in the country where you can hunt them. One of the largest waterfowl you’ll ever see and a very beautiful bird. Hunting is an important management tool in managing these birds and by having a limited hunt for them allows a small number of them to be taken each year. To be able to hunt them you have to enter a lottery and draw a tag and unfortunately I wasn’t drawn this year.

I did get the opportunity to take my camera and lay out in a muddy field ditch and photograph a hunt this year.

Tundra Swans can be a challenge for the dogs because they are so large
Conman’s Guide Service is who I recommend to go with if you draw a tag and looking for a place to hunt.
