Awesome video Matt! It's crazy that one bird could make our pack out 20 lbs heavier, well worth the effort to experience such an amazing morning though!
Your channel and Thomas channel are my two favorites. Real hunting and not all about "the stack" of birds or 3,000 decoys, and not trying to sell products constantly. Just average dudes who do a little scouting and enjoying the success. Good job on the swan Matt. Crunched him real good!
What another amazing show of sounds and lights from the beginning to the end! Monsieur LeeRoy also shows what an awesome partner he is! The spread of decoys, the calling, the marksmanship, all the right equipment, a so informative video! Thanks again for sharing, what a great season of watching your set of videos! Take care Mr Matt, God and Saint Hubert bless you and your friends and family!
How exciting, Matt! I have harvested 3 swans at my club in Northern Utah and it is an amazing bird. Way to go! And, a great mix of species in your bag limit.
Congrats on the swan. It made one heck of a sound hitting the water. Sounded like a fridge hitting the water thrown out of a airplane. One shot which I really like
My two favourite duck hunters in one video - doesn't get much better. We can shoot black swan over here. I shot one years ago and have chosen not to shoot any more. Great video.
Matt, is your gun mount camera a Shot Kam? Awesome hunt! Would have loved to had clear views of some of those ducks working because they put on a show… but that’s the way it is sometimes. Loved seeing the swan! Never seen one down south.. gigantic bird!!
That was a question I had too. Why was Thomas not shooting? Or was that just some incredible editing? 😂 Just goes to show what incredible sportsmen these two men are! Most guys wouldn't put forth the effort to scout and help set up the deeks, not even shoot, and then accompany someone on the hunt like Thomas did here. Just enforces my opinion of what a class act these guys are, congratulations on the swan Matt! WELL DONE!
That’s a hunt to remember! And it’s cool to see I’m not the only one still using a Versamax I have the same one mine looks a little rougher though but it’s definitely a gun I can’t replace a I still think its one of the softest shooting guns ever made. What choke do you run in yours ?
@ nice! I have shot quite a few after market chokes out of mine including muller, kicks and Carlson’s but putting them on paper the chokes that came with the gun definitely seem to be the most consistent with smaller shot sizes but the muller passing performs very well with #2 and #1 but I don’t shoot that large of shot vary often
Get you up here on lake Erie for a layout shoot puddle ducks and divers first half went Sunday 2 split starts next weekend for Ohio start getting good where killing but temps are above average
I like to call them with more of a Lou than a Woo. But also we can't shoot them in Michigan. Also I can't tell/remember the difference in swans without looking them up.
Awesome video Matt! It's crazy that one bird could make our pack out 20 lbs heavier, well worth the effort to experience such an amazing morning though!
Thanks buddy! Never doubt the scout
Wait. What? HPS AND Hoke Outdoors??? Oh hell yeah! No better way to start the day, coffee and my 2 favorite waterfowl channels on a hunt together!
Appreciate that!

100% and not full of CRAZY metal music. Chill, easy going videos
@bobcostas1331 yes sir. I'm just an old school dude. Don't want ducks being shot with techno, metal or worse, rap as a background track.
Agreed 👍
Congratulations! Leroy was thinking, "this thing is HUGE!".
Haha thanks!
Awesome hunt guys. That swan was like a bed sheet fallin out of the sky
Thanks!
Leroy once again earning his extra treats with all those awesome retrieves and tackling the swan retrieve!
He got a well-deserved nap after the hunt haha

My two favorite YT hunters in the same vid! The second I heard LEROY I was like wait…. No it can’t be 😅
😂 Thomas is a blast to hunt with
Smoked the biggest bird of waterfowl kingdom! Congratulations. Good job Thomas for finding that spot. Way to go UA-camrs.
Thanks Cooper!

That’s a good hunt right there
Definitely
Now that looked fun!
It was a blast!
Amazing
Thanks!
Thoroughly enjoyable vid! Congrats on the s
Appreciate it!
Leroy was fantastic!
Yes, he was!
My two favourite duck hunters in one video - doesn't get much better. We can shoot black swan over here. I shot one years ago and have chosen not to shoot any more. Great video.
Thanks!
Great video!
Thanks!
Great Shooting with Thomas ,Never shot a swan,Seen I think one season in Maryland when I was younger,Great Video !
Thanks!
Holy crap that was one hell of a shot on that swan! I have a tag myself this year, and hoping I get the opportunity. Sweet.
Thanks! Good luck!
Isn’t it Leroy’s first season? And he gets a swan retrieve? Haha pretty cool (congrats to you as well 😉)
Definitely his first swan retrieve
That was great shot first swan and are you getting mounted swan??
Thanks! Leaning that way
@@HighPrairieSportsmen you are welcome
Glad i finally found ya again! What a hunt! Your taxidermy bill just got higher! Congratulations
@@HuskerHalen haha thanks Chris!
Nice!!!!
Thanks!
Well made video
Appreciate it!
Matt, is your gun mount camera a Shot Kam? Awesome hunt! Would have loved to had clear views of some of those ducks working because they put on a show… but that’s the way it is sometimes. Loved seeing the swan! Never seen one down south.. gigantic bird!!
Thanks! Yep, Shotkam Gen 4. Yeah, low light conditions are tough to film in unfortunately.
How long have you been hunting with a versa max. To me it’s the most reliable gun never fails me
Been using it for 10 years now. It works
Great Hunt !!! How much would a Swan cost to be mounted?
Thanks! It's between $1-2K
Love the video, as a UK shooter and as a matter of interest what cartridges are you using please?
Thanks! Salt Creek Custom 2 3/4" TSS 7s
Holy smokes you folded that thing like a cheap tent! It was almost like slow motion the way it crumbled haha. Congrats!
Thanks buddy!
Great hunt guys, what’s Swan taste like? Always wondered as they’re talking a season here in Ontario, and Leroy managed pulling him in…
Thanks! Heard they're similar to goose.
Congrats, Matt! Looked like fun! Thomas only have a 3 day license?
That was a question I had too. Why was Thomas not shooting? Or was that just some incredible editing? 😂 Just goes to show what incredible sportsmen these two men are! Most guys wouldn't put forth the effort to scout and help set up the deeks, not even shoot, and then accompany someone on the hunt like Thomas did here. Just enforces my opinion of what a class act these guys are, congratulations on the swan Matt! WELL DONE!
Thomas was going on a field duck hunt that afternoon. He wanted to work Leroy
@HighPrairieSportsmen ah. Makes sense!
Wow! Did not know you can hunt Swan. Did you cook them up? And how do they taste?
Just in certain states. It tastes similar to goose.
that's a great hunt, nice job...so what does a guy do w them swans then?...mount? eat?
Thanks! Either or. Some get them mounted, others eat them. Taste similar to goose
That’s a hunt to remember! And it’s cool to see I’m not the only one still using a Versamax I have the same one mine looks a little rougher though but it’s definitely a gun I can’t replace a I still think its one of the softest shooting guns ever made. What choke do you run in yours ?
Thanks! I was just using factory IC
@ nice! I have shot quite a few after market chokes out of mine including muller, kicks and Carlson’s but putting them on paper the chokes that came with the gun definitely seem to be the most consistent with smaller shot sizes but the muller passing performs very well with #2 and #1 but I don’t shoot that large of shot vary often
Now pull the utah tag and get out here next year to do it again.
🤞🏻
❤❤ which choke and shell you're using
Listed at the start of the video
Leroy needs a raise hauling that big boy in
He was pooped after the hunt haha
did you mount the swan?
Planning on it
@@HighPrairieSportsmen would love to see the end results. I drew a tag in SD but never harvested a swan
Lee Roy!!
*fetches duck*
Get you up here on lake Erie for a layout shoot puddle ducks and divers first half went Sunday 2 split starts next weekend for Ohio start getting good where killing but temps are above average
That'd be a fun time!
I like to call them with more of a Lou than a Woo. But also we can't shoot them in Michigan. Also I can't tell/remember the difference in swans without looking them up.
It's tough if they don't talk and are solo. We didn't see any trumpeters scouting but also got lucky that all the swans on the hunt were vocal.
swan hunt its big achivement
Thanks!
That dog not there at start.Leroy doing well ..Lab. or flat coat ?
@@astakavasta3168 the dog was with us the whole time. Lab
Not obvious on vid no matter .uk I had big “Goldie” top for this job.Uk no shooting swans!,
Is that the versamax?
Yep
@ how do you like it?
there’s only a few more things i’ve found on the planet that are more annoying then when he yells Leroy 😂
What’s the “WHOOO” for?
That's a sound tundra swans make.
Let me know how you cook your swan. We were lucky enough to get drawn here in NC again this year.
Just like goose basically.
Trumpeter?
@@christianmartir4878 tundra
Off to the taxidermist then?
Yep
You getting it mounted your swan
@@deadlysinns9643 yeah, most likely
How come Tomas not hunting
He was going on an afternoon field duck hunt.
Всё очень красиво! А у нас в России запрещено стрелять лебедей хотя их очень много. Удачи!
Thanks!
people hunt swans? Do they eat well? I really dont know....never seen it.
Yep. There's 10 states with a season. They taste similar to goose.
@@HighPrairieSportsmen I never knew that. Thanks for the info.
You should do a collab hunt the BWfilms
I'll have to look into that
Shooting with no dog! Not the best for ALL bids being recovered.
@@astakavasta3168 there was a dog...
Its not ok to kill swan try that in Denmark and you will go to jail
It's highly-regulated and legal in America
Mr.Liroj ist A.Bad As .😅😊
Yes he is
@HighPrairieSportsmen 😅👍🫵💪
