Shot several over the years when I could draw a tag in Utah. Not any harder to knock down than a Canada goose, but much harder to pick. Meat is very dark.  We always tried to get one with still some gray because thats the younger ones, eat better but pin feathers are  bad. Give em a good lead when shooting.because they fly.a lot faster than you'd think. Kinda like shooting down a small airplane, heck of a splash when they hit the water

Sure wish I could figure out how to apply again. I can't figure out the fwp site. I applied a few years ago and drew the tag. Spent a day and got my swan over decoys. One of my top ten waterfowl hunts ever.
