Thanks guys.
Kusko, yes, I was using decoys. I have never seen a swan call, but would be interested if you know about them. Here is Axl swimming past the decoys I used.
I had already killed my swan at this point, but used the swans for confidence decoys. They also have worked well for bringing in can in the past. That is it there are any cans around. I didn't see many on this trip.
Yeh, I would love to have one hanging from the ceiling, but as you mentioned, not cheap. Maybe next year as I still have to scrape together some $$ for a bear that is still at the taxidermist.
