question about geese
 

So I am still pretty new to waterfowl and I heard that snow geese taste like crap(for lack of a better term). Is that true. Compared to canadian there just is not comparison? Just curious.

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.

A crockpot full of legs and thighs with some onion, mushrooms and some spices is pretty hard to beat. If in doubt, you can always make jerky.

Goose is awesome for that. Like so many things... its all in the prep and in the cook himself.

Everything gets turned into jerky for me

Thanks guys....my duck jerkey was a disaster. I over seasoned.....NEVER DO THAT!!!! I will probably do jerkey again. It is easy, and honestly.....who doesn't like good jerkey?

RE: question about geese
 

how do you guys make your jerky?

RE: question about geese
 

I used "Hi Mountain" jerky cure/mix. Easy to use and it comes in different favours

Last year I smoked canada and snow geese at the same time to try and taste a difference...I didn't notice one. Smoking the breasts tasted amazing. We wrapped bacon around some of them and that tasted pretty good too.
