    I brought home a speckled bell from a hunt years ago, Cleaned it and gave it to her to cook.
    About as tough and the same size as a NFL football, Never hunted geese again.

    I understand and in spirit agree with the idea of picking them off with a rifle, but legally speaking, you don't want to do that.....the rules concerning taking them are governed by international treaty, and rifles aren't on the list of legal weapons.

    As long as it's not a lead ball you should be GTO.

    My mother usually pressure cocked them till the meat fell off the bone, with no seasoning and fed them to her dog. Best way to serve in my opinion.

    My neighbor shoots a lot of geese on his private lake. They don't like them a whole lot, so he started giving some to us. They just breast them out. I started slicing each breast half in about six half-inch thick cutlets and blackening them using my venison seasoning. They turn out to be just as good as venison chops. They are a little tougher, but we work them over with a Jaccard tenderizer, and they have become a favorite. I take every one he'll give me.

    I am going to have to give that a try.

    When I was a poor graduate student with a small family to feed and permission to goose hunt at a farm nearby, we ate a lot of goose. I usually cooked 1/4 of a breast (these were giant resident Canadas). Normally made a stir fry with lots of ginger, garlic, soy, hot stuff, vegetables, and made sure to NEVER overcook the goose or it would be tough tough tough. Very similar to lean beef if done that way. The legs and thighs I would cook for soup and it was always very good.

    Since I was good at waterfowl hunting, we also ate a good number of ducks and those we might grill, wrap with bacon, or roast. One of my "inventions" was to take a fat duck which hadn't been shot up too bad, pluck the breast, and then filet both sides from the bone, making sure to keep the two sides connected by the skin and fat over the sternum. Essentially you would end up with two filets of duck breast and these could be wrapped with the skin and fat with whatever you wanted inside. I usually secured the cut with toothpicks but you could use butcher twine or sew it closed too. Roasted until the skin was crispy, you could then cut it crosswise like a mini roast surrounded with crispy duck fat. Green winged teal were especially good this way since they were always fat and small enough to cook quickly, and generally weren't too shot up.

    It wasn't until later that I became proficient at deer hunting. The first deer I shot was quite the celebration at the home front, let me tell you. The wife liked it so much she started hunting and killed a few herself. Nowadays she doesn't bother, since hunting in Texas is pretty much point and shoot and I can manage that easily enough for what we need.

    I should add that the tame goose I've eaten is a totally different thing than wild geese. If you didn't see them both before cooking, you'd swear they weren't anything alike. Tame goose is delicious.

    Winner goose is great that way!!
