CharlieNY Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Got out this morning with my son for some early September goose hunting. It was a beautiful morning and we scored on 3 birds. My lab Waylon had the most fun retrieving the birds. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 I have a serious question that may wind up with more than one answer: Are those wild geese really good tasting? I have heard mixed opinions. What are the pros and cons of the wild goose tastes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard mixed opinions. What are the pros and cons of the wild goose tastes? As with any wild game preparation is the key. We breast out the geese and then put the breasts in a brine solution for 24 to 48 hours changing the water frequently to get all of the blood out. From there we prepare them in many ways such as putting them in the smoker or crock pot or making sausage. If prepared properly there really are no cons. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like most wild gamebirds I find them just a tad on the tough side and that can be neutralized with proper cooking, as for the taste I like them a lot.

CharlieNY Posted September 24, 2023 Author Share Posted September 24, 2023 (edited) This morning was our last hunt of the early season. We scored on 18 birds today. It was Gunner's turn today and at 20 months old he did a spectacular job. Gunner found and retrieved 3 of the birds which fell into the standing corn and we probably would have never found all of them without him. You can't say enough good about a good hunting dog.
