Eighty is plenty enough.

You can't give them away to the local land owners where I live. No one wants them. They are called flying rats by many of the locals. In any event I find they cook up fine if you marinade them.
The things with snow geese is the wildlife managers want a pile of them killed because of the over population and the damage it is doing in the arctic. This need is tempered by traditional bag limits and lack of shooters. Then there is the problem of what do you do with all these birds?
In the most areas wasting them is not an option as you will get charged and even if you were allowed to just dump them............ most of us would have a problem wrapping our minds around that morally due to the way we were raised.
It is a complicated issue that will most likely be resolved by the population crashing.

When my dad used to run a processing store. He would make this crew a total of 2-1/2 tons of goose sausage at the end of each season!!!!!!!! They would give it away as Christmas gifts to those who allowed them to hunt on their property. They never had a complaint!!!

Try them in a pulled pork recipe,
soak them in salt water overnight, then put in crock pot with chicken broth on high for 8-10 hours, then drain shred the meat which should fall apart and then added your bbq sauce the one I tasted was sweet baby ray's sweet hickory it was great tasted more like beef than snow goose!

I've eaten Canadians and domestic and loved them both. Are the snowies considered greasy? (a common complaint from those that don't know how to cook a goose) Or is it just a flavor thing that people don't like.

If I lived closer to Rushville, I'd take some off your hands.

Spring snow geese flying back north taste way better the. Fall geese coming south. When they come of the rice fields down in Arkansas and the lower states they have a way different taste. It's all about what they're feeding on. I'll never shoot a snow in the fall again.
