RE: question about geese
Snow geese aren't the greatest eating, but I'd say they're as good as Canadians. I don't care for either one very much, though I think that Specklebellies are very good eating.
If you want to cook a snow in a pretty good recipe, try 'goose gumbo'. Get a recipe for Turkey gumbo soup, and substitute goose for the turkey. It's pretty good that way.
