Opener goose, Short hunt

My family cottage people have been begging me to thin out the local goose population. I have been seeing lots on my scouts leading up to the hunt.

Of course this morning was super quiet and there were more ducks than I have ever seen on this body of water. Got 2 geese to commit but only got one. They were 30 yards or more so I was not that disappointed.

Better than none! good job

Well done disco.

How do you like to cook them?

yes one is better than none and you thinned the flock

ya was set up Saturday one flock to far away, left the guns at home Sunday, (very stormy) of coarse they knew it laughing at me off the back lawn and bay ....typical lol even the nighbour ask me if I wanted to borrow a shotgun, not the same...next time I only take 6 a year is enough for me, lots of time left

Stormy days are the best for water fowl IMO. I will take them over blue bird skies any day.

I make goose jerky out of mine.

mine will be going into summer sausage.

DISCO, do you do your own jerky or a shop, I do like that but getting expensive? yes stormy days are way better, just work gets involved, have to pick my days til I retire.....

I make my own Jerky marinades. Tons on line to follow and adapt to your taste. Way cheaper that way.

Took mine to shop today to become summer sausage. I tried goose jerky a couple years ago and I didn't like it at all, so will stick to processing into pepperettts or summer sausage. Ground is really good to in chili and burgers.

I did have in chilie last year, was good, I think Beachcomber on here gave me some peperettes to try, like them also

will try again on Saturday while working out the back, if a flock flies over etc, bring out the Beretta, that needs a few rounds through it, few more trys off the back lawn til they shut down that bay also
