NAW Posted August 16, 2016 Report Posted August 16, 2016 I am getting so pumped for the upcoming waterfowl season! Anyone else getting the itch to cycle some shells and ruffle some feathers? I'm planning an early season hunt with some chaps from work. 3 coffin blinds, 3 dozen decoys and a fresh cut field!! Anyone else going out for the early season??
NAW Posted August 16, 2016 Author Report Posted August 16, 2016 You Northern guys are lucky!! I have to wait until the 8th for it to open. Hunt is booked for the 10th. I'm going to start trying to get a pattern on the local bird in the next week or so.
Dara Posted August 16, 2016 Report Posted August 16, 2016 I'm taking the easy way..one hunt, guided, then back to fishing. Fields and coffin blind like you
Dontcryformejanhrdina Posted August 16, 2016 Report Posted August 16, 2016 I'm looking forward to grouse season the most but goose intrigues me....Never had goose before.
NAW Posted August 16, 2016 Author Report Posted August 16, 2016 Most people don't like goose meat from my past experience. But when cooked right, and in the right application, it's delicious. My favourite 3 ways to eat it are: 1. Homemade Jerky 2. Slow cooked and pulled (like pork) on a sandwich or wrap 3. Ground and used to make Chilli I'm going to try to make burgers this year. Cut with a bit of ground beef, and imbedded with shredded cheese, chunks of bacon and seasoning.
Dara Posted August 16, 2016 Report Posted August 16, 2016 Cut into cubes, marinate on orange juice, skewer and bbq
dave524 Posted August 16, 2016 Report Posted August 16, 2016 I've had sausage that was quite good, there was some pork shoulder added for fat.
Rod Caster Posted August 16, 2016 Report Posted August 16, 2016 Goose burger is a great idea. My neighbor has a field full of geese... Too easy for us to get the license and just hang out in the garage until we see them.
NAW Posted August 16, 2016 Author Report Posted August 16, 2016 I've had summer sausage that one of my guide buddies had made up. And it was possibly the best summer sausage I have ever had. It just takes so much meat that I can't ever seem to shoot enough geese in a season! And Chad, I hear ya! That's an easy way to get dinner!
Dara Posted August 16, 2016 Report Posted August 16, 2016 1st week of the season limit is double so you can shoot 20 a day
misfish Posted August 16, 2016 Report Posted August 16, 2016 No shooting for me anymore Nick as you know. But if you can find it in your heart, I wouldnt mind a bird or two. Cover that gift I threw in your truck this spring.LOL Have fun blasting byes.
Oggie Posted August 17, 2016 Report Posted August 17, 2016 I've had summer sausage that one of my guide buddies had made up. And it was possibly the best summer sausage I have ever had. It just takes so much meat that I can't ever seem to shoot enough geese in a season! And Chad, I hear ya! That's an easy way to get dinner! That happens to me too so I make up the needed meat with some of the rougher venison cuts from the year before. It's the only way I can find to really enjoy goose meat (in a sausage). You only need 13 lbs of wild game meat because the butcher adds 12 lbs of ground pork to get to the 25 lb minimum.
kickingfrog Posted August 17, 2016 Report Posted August 17, 2016 Just received two outdoor magazine's hunting annuals today in the mail. September 15th-ish grouse trip north for me.
misfish Posted August 17, 2016 Report Posted August 17, 2016 As for cooking goose, I always skinned and then cut the breast out clean. I would wrap them in bacon and roast slow. I have fooled people into thinking it was roast beef. The legs are good for cutting up into small pieces and frying up with onions and peppers for roll ups. Or soup as well. I find nothing wrong with the taste. I dont even find it gamey.
NAW Posted August 17, 2016 Author Report Posted August 17, 2016 I'll toss a few breasts your way Brian! if my hunts go well! At minimum, you'll get a bag of jerky!
misfish Posted August 17, 2016 Report Posted August 17, 2016 I'll toss a few breasts your way Brian! if my hunts go well! At minimum, you'll get a bag of jerky! Chewing on goose jerky catching white fish. That sounds good to me.LOL
kickingfrog Posted August 17, 2016 Report Posted August 17, 2016 Chewing on goose jerky catching white fish. That sounds good to me.LOL Better than the other way around.
glen Posted August 17, 2016 Report Posted August 17, 2016 When does duck open? I saw some geese today. Seems to be some around.
Dara Posted August 18, 2016 Report Posted August 18, 2016 A shot from last years opener to set the mood
Sinker Posted August 18, 2016 Report Posted August 18, 2016 When does duck open? I saw some geese today. Seems to be some around. Duck season opens on the last sat of september, but the early goose season opens the thursday after labour day for I think 10 days, then closes until the last saturday in september. From then its open until the end of december in most areas. S.
Mister G Posted August 18, 2016 Report Posted August 18, 2016 GOOSE POPPERS Cube into 1" pieces Marinate in Italian Salad Dressing (Wishbone is best) overnight if possible Cut Hot or Sweet peppers to hold the 1" cubes of goose, I like hot peppers best Put some cream cheese in the peppers then the goose pieces Wrap the above with par cooked bacon strips .............even dog poo would taste good wrapped in BACON ! ! ! Grill until the bacon is crispy .......EASY PEASY ! ! ! CHEERS ! ! !
Sinker Posted August 18, 2016 Report Posted August 18, 2016 Last year I had 130lbs of goose breast meat ground into sausages, pepperettes and kolbassa. Expensive but very good eats. The farmers who let me hunt their properties get a large portion of it, so its a great deal all around. I can't wait to whack a few of them sky donkeys! S.
NAW Posted August 18, 2016 Author Report Posted August 18, 2016 I like the direction this post it going. Keep the recipes coming!!
