So just how tasty is a snow/ross/blue goose anyway?

Never had one. But saw a ton of them in an adjacent field today while scoping out a new hunting area in the Delta. The fields are crawling with them out there right now, no wonder there is no bag/possession limits.

Got me excited - I came right home and applied for a permit.

Totally stoked that hunting season will last an additional 2 months.

But I never had one of these "Light Geese". How are they?

Grab some mud out of the field and cook it.............taste about the same as a snow down here.

We hunted in Canada and were asked to please shoot snows. They feed on entirely different vegetation up there and they tasted great in crock pot, smothered in peppers and onions with gravy........
I cant stomach them here after they get on henbit and other crap.

I've never cooked a snow / blue by itself. But after our 2008 hunt up in AR, I took a 48qt cooler, slam full of breasts to the deer processor. I had them make it all into smoked sausage. Obviously adding pig fat is going to make pretty much anything taste good, but it was really good.

The speck I cooked last night tasted more like venison than anything else but it was an old bird according to the band info.

Smoke them and make pulled BBQ or Make Boudin with it. Great way to cook a lot of those geese fast. Then freeze what's left over for another day.
