He got a swan!

My oldest son, Tyler, who is ten years old, has fallen in love with water fowl hunting. His dad introduced him to the sport and this year he got a swan permit. They have went out west of our house, about 5 times, to hunt for swan. Well, today was his lucky day!! His dad decided to take him this morning, a school day, to try and get his swan. They left around 5:30 am and returned about 9:00am.

The swan he hit was a young one, notice the grey on its head, but Tyler was pretty excited about it. I guess after Tyler shot it, it took off and they couldn't find it for about an hour. Bryce wanted Tyler to go with him to the Wildlife Dept. to get it measured and so Tyler didn't get to school until after lunch time. As a school teacher I don't condone skipping school, but Tyler and his dad were able to spend some quality time together.

Notice Tyler's face, this was a pretty heavy bird!!
