Ross Tate from Missoula had this report from Freezeout

A great day of swan hunting on the eastern Rocky Mountain front  from near Choteau, MT. Freezeout Lake! I was successfully able to harvest a beautiful mature Tundra swan today. What a beautiful bird! There are many more swans, snow geese, ducks, and Canada geese getting ready to migrate onto and through Freezeout Lake this coming…

Freezeout Lake!

I was successfully able to harvest a beautiful mature Tundra swan today. What a beautiful bird!

There are many more swans, snow geese, ducks, and Canada geese getting ready to migrate onto and through Freezeout Lake this coming week. So many of those birds are still in Canada and waiting for cold winter weather to push them out and through Montana.

I do believe the best is yet to come!!!
