Any one goose hunting

Just looking for any reports on early goose if any one is killing any thing yet

I quit goose hunting a few years ago. What do you do after you shoot one, eat it?
There’s no way I could try eating another sky carp.

Come kill as many corn fed geese on my bay as you can….I have heard no shooting so far

EPG try making Jerky out of them. I have had few even know it was goose and it is better than venison to many.

My buddy grilled a goose breast that I swear tasted just like beef steak. It was amazing. Jerky is also good. I have a friend that shot 8 to 10 both days in the Alexandria area.

Just saw a guy and his young son row by in a 12′ Johnny. The tree huggers better not try protecting “there” geese because the warden is on speed dial and my smart phone camera is ready for documentation!

I shot 4 yesterday and 5 today. I’ll grill or bake a few of the breasts and put a glaze on them then the rest turns to spicy jerky. Enough to last the year ice fishing. I have to use the geese because I dont make venison jerky I make all sausage instead

Big pike. I sent you a PM

I had a 0 bird morning

I wasn’t able to get out this weekend. Had to shut the Mille Lacs place down for the summer, but I’ll be after them next weekend

Try mixing the meat with some pork fat.
Fry it up like bacon.

Couple other ways to fix them that are great –

Slow cook in the crock pot with beer. Peel apart and add barbecue sauce for pulled goose sandwiches

Grind it up and make Italian brats. Slow cook with peppers and onions

They can be fun to hunt if you get them on an active field. Problem is, like many have already indicated, is the taste. Plus they reek when you clean them too. The best way to use them is for pothole filler. They’re tough and dark, so they work well and hold up to the rigors of our roadways here.

Didn’t go out this weekend for Goose…I did manage to get a handful of tasty Doves on Saturday morning and make it back in time for breakfast.

Unfortunately, I don’t think I’ll make it out for early Goose this year. I’ll be fishing ML this coming weekend, then archery opener and finally duck opener…Busy fall already!
