There is one thing that is wrong in your post. The Canada geese are under the control of the Federal Fish and Wildlife Service. Does your friend who raised the geese have a Fed propagation permit? This is a must (to be legal) for your friend to have the geese (Canada only) in his possession. Then to be legal he must fill Federal form 3-186 to transfer the geese to you before or after slaughter. If he does not have a propagation permit showing where he got the geese he is breaking the law and you would be breaking the law in having them in your possession without either a permit or hunting license ie a hunting license and a migratory bird stamp. The reason I know this is that I have had a permit for over 40 years.
