 OK   

Goose hunting yesterday.There we're not many snow geese in the area but they all seamed to fly over us,COOL! The wind kept them down low and flying slow. If We could shoot we should have taken our limits the first hour, but it took us three hours of  shooting to get  what we got.

Three hours still looks like a good day!

Hope you had fun.

we ground them and the swan with some sage hens and made jerky..

 Now you and stand to eat them, any one need 50 # of bird jerky ??

d, I only had goose jerky once. About two chews into the first bite and I almost tossed my cookies. Naaaasty stuff. Ever been in a room full of people and needed to get something out of your mouth NOW? RD

Bear, I think you nailed the taste exactly. Never could eat gizzards or livers for sure. Especially after I'd "turned" my share of qizzards. I've thought about goose hunting, but I keep getting this picture in my head of all the flocks I see around here sitting on the city sewage treatment ponds. RD 

 You guys are missing the secret ingredient!! You need to put in a 9 year old sage hen for some spice and a big gob of bear for some grease... YUM YUM

Perhaps a little freezer burned Antelope meat from a gut shot 7 year old sage fed buck in full rut might do the trick. Couldn't hurt. Could it? RD

smoke the whole goose for a great tasting product!

OR........first take goose breast meat and soak in salt water for a while to "cleanse it", then slice the breast meat rather thin ie 1/4" maybe, then season to taste and let sit for a bit to take in the seasonings, then using a CAST IRON fry pan get some cooking oil or butter HOT but not burning, then quick fry the thin pieces of goose breast on both sides.....gets done rather quickly and makes for good eating....method works super for ducks too & grouse or timber doodles ...I have only had Canada goose so can't say for swan or snow geese.......RD my geese come from the Crex Meadows refuge area up here (think small Horicon) & I don't think there are any sewage ponds twixt my hunting area and the Crex where my geese come from.
