Resident goose season opened here yesterday and we put a hurting on them this morning. We are known to "not have any birds" here, but if you take the time to scout you will find them. It took two weeks of scouting to finally find a feed with enough birds to have a good hunt. We got 24 birds with 5 shooters, a dang good hunt for NC. The only thing these greasy resident geese are good for is jerky or snack sticks. We grind up all of the breast meat and make snack sticks in the smoker with jalapeno and cheese. Some of them even get pickled. They are great that way, but any other way they are terrible. I've cooked a lot of geese on trips out west and they are great because they are grain fed migrators. You can cook them like a sirloin steak. Not these though!!
Gotta live up to the nickname...

Excellent Brat, I have some that fly of the farmers field every morning,
gotta go get a box of bismuth to take a couple out
Dad's Belgium a 5 mag needs to snort again
Good job Buzz, bismuth is the way to go in the older guns. Check out Boss Shotshells. All their waterfowl loads are bismuth. The issue with traditional bismuth is that its soft and "splats" on impact instead of penetrating. Boss copper plates theirs so that it penetrates better, I've been super impressed with them. Me and one of my buddies shot 20 Ga 3" #3 Boss Bismuth today in the goose field. 1 1/8 oz payload. It sure folded them up

You can set your clock to them birds well then, how about a shell loader?!

Awesome! I am headed up to the Kawartha Lakes area next week with my 8 and 9 year olds for an early goose hunt. Can't wait to see my brother and do some (admittedly poor) shooting LOL
Just happy to be here.
