i want to blast some ducks and geese but i want to do so in an envirnomentally friendly way, that also isnt hard on my barrel (ducks because they are tasty, geese because i hate 'em)
found some 2 bucks a shell - JEEZ! anyone ever eat a canada goose? they taste any good? i dont have the heart to blast anything i wont eat, but i'd sure love to blast a goose becuse they're so obnoxious i've got nothing agaist ducks, they're cute, but they are delicious
Canada geese are obnoxious? Why? They crap on your car or something? I gather their very tasty, havent tried one but near as i can tell, basically any goose recipe should work. If you can cook a duck, (im presuming you prepare them yourself) then you should be able to deal with a goose. It all rests on whether you can cook, rather than whether the animal is intrinsically yummy or not, imo. I did see some great canada goose tips on a new zealand hunting forum, dont recall the site, but greybeardoutdoors should have similiar. I gather a lot of people really dislike the steel shot on geese, for obvious reasons, i guess you could compare them to turkey, you do need to be surprisingly close for a humane kill. I dont know-if you use an auto/pump 12g, or a ten guage i dont see a problem. What are you using? Must be ol' faithful not to be proofed for steel shot.
I used to hunt duck and geese. Geese are very lean and somewhat gamey, but good if you fix them the right way. It's all dark meat btw. They are a bitch to clean, so sometimes we would just skin them. You can bake in oven with bacon stips laid across the breast, also good idea to stuff with fruit like apples, pears etc... I'm sure you can find some better recipies on the net. Good hunting. Btw, I hope you are hunting real WILD geese that have been feeding on grains and forage. You couldn't pay me to eat a domesticated goose (like around a golf course).
you're really cool. you're an adult human being (i'm assuming) and you want to go around killing helpless animals for YOUR PATHETIC ENJOYMENT. if someone was hunting you, you'd be crying and whining like a little baby. pathetic.
well, at least you're posting something besides 'why cant I trade'? for once good for you - keep it up
