I dont know.in the mid west they have seasons for swans and sand hill cranes.... if the swans get to large numbers why not be able to have a small season on them like the brant season? they do 5 times as much damage to crops than the snow geese do.... it should be out of benefit to the farmers so they do not destroy their crops... especially if it was like last year where it seemed like there were more swans around than snow geese... if the numbers reach a certain population open a select day season with a limit of 2 in January. In skagit and snohomish counties... why not!?

In skagit and snohomish counties... why not!?I always thought they should sell a couple of tags. If they charge the $5 or so like they do for big game lotto, I bet the state would make 10-15k right there on people putting in for swan tags. They could put half the income into swan habitat and the other half into a downpayment for a new desk for Gregoire.
I like to yell really loud when they miss, they almost always do, "Hey Dumb $hit those are swans" They don't shoot too much after that...
