SUMMARY:Swan Hunt 2025
DESCRIPTION:December 8\, 2025\nPantego\, NC\nHosted By:\n \nDrew Blake\, Brendon Brown\, and Cam Patrick finally completed a swan hunt that was 2 years in the making.  The trip started off with a five (5) hour drive to a cabin owned by Brendon’s family in Fairfield\, NC.  After a long dinner at Harris’ Steak & Seafood House\, located at 6555 NC-94\, Fairfield\, NC 27826\, the guys left and settled back in for a good nights sleep at the cabin.  The next morning came early for a hour ride to the hunt field.  Along the way the guys stopped to fill their bellies at MJ’s Country Store & Grill\, located at 6888 NC-99\, Pantego\, NC 27860.  All the guys enjoyed smoked sausage\, egg\, and cheese biscuits and friendly conversations with the store staff.  After breakfast the guys made their way to the field to meet Jason Haddock with H & H Guide Service.  After a short trailer ride to the blind the guys were able to watch Jason put out swan decoys in preparation for the hunt.  A blind had been built and used throughout the season by Jason to harvest numerous swans.  The blind was constructed out of hog slats placed in a drainage ditch and surround by wire hog panels strapped to metal T-posts and covered with pine limbs.  Cam and Drew assisted Brendon into the blind and it wasn’t long before the action began.  Brendon quickly had multiple swans within shooting range and attempted three unassisted shots hitting one swan two out of three times but the swan continued to fly away.  Perfect shots are needed to harvest a swan.  Brendon attempted these shots all by hearing the swans in flight.  Drew slid behind Brendon to assist if needed for the next group that came in.  The next group came in less then 5 minutes after the first shots and a single swan flew straight into the Brendon.  Drew told him to shoulder the gun\, Brendon locked on by hearing the whistle of the wind through the birds wings and Drew told him when to pull the trigger.  Success.  In three shots Brendon had accomplished something that no other blind person has in the entire world.  This is based on our research.  Cam and Drew took their shots at right many swans throughout the day all while Brendon joked about how he shot his in three shots.  The day ended with all three harvesting beautiful swans.
