Well put TS,This was some time back when we started hunting geese.My hunting buds thought I was crazy when I brought out the picker to clean the bird of all the feathers, but when they tasted my roasted goose the were sold. They even fought over the leg and thigh. You put into words what I was thinking, gut they bird asap so not to taint the meat. Tasty-Tasty. You should try my Pekin Goose!
