Interesting; within the last year or two, the Colorado Division of Wildlife, or some other genius govt branch, came up with the idea of thinning some of the goose gaggles infesting local parks in the Denver area by shooting them and feeding them to those suffering "food insecurity" in the area.
Not sure it went over very well, and PETA certainly had a collective stroke.
Don't want to hijack this thread, but I said they do not taste good, not good word choice, really they are just tough, not a tender meat. To make them tender, you have to cook them down in a crock pot or something to make them tender. Which is not how I like to cook waterfowl, I like to cook them like a steak, med to med-rare, salt and pepper. Last Canadas I shot, my son cooked them in a crock pot, mexican spice, we had Canada goose tacos, they were great. The Cajuns will cook them down gumbo style, and they will throw nasty tasting ducks in there, maybe a possum too..
Still, my dog Tara does not like them, so I let them pass...We both like mallards, the king duck.
