The other way I like it is cubed up with onions and rice in a stir fry. Made a lot of goose over the years, sadly we have a one goose limit now in NY so haven't done much hunting this year.


I like that cheesesteak idea

A resident goose will have a fat rear end that it drags across the ground. Picture a farm duck waddling. Migrating geese do not have this feature.

Migrating grain fed geese/ducks have a deep yellow colored fat. Resident goose fat is typically more white in color.

The color of the meat itself is even different. Migrating goose meat is a lighter color, resident goose meat is almost the color of liver/much darker

Migrators also will have more tender meat, you will just notice this by skinning hundreds. When you go to pull the skin back on a migrator you can tear the breast meat apart if you pull too hard. You can pull the skin on a resident bird all you want and never tear the meat

The last thing is the coloration of the head. Migrating geese have very bright white portions of their head. Resident geese often have a "muddy" look to their heads

I know these are all very subjective things, but what it comes down to is "you can just tell"

I do not find any of this true with Canada geese here. We have some that winter here, plenty nest here and they all migrate in from the north. I have shot 100's of geese and cranes.

You and I are not dealing with similar birds, that is why. We have shot around 300 geese in NC this season, I'm not pulling these things out of my (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman). I'd say 90% of those are resident birds

When I say resident goose, I mean a goose that has never and will never leave an area of a few square miles. In their lifetime they will never migrate. A goose that winters in your area and leaves is not a resident goose. They live on golf courses, landfills, stormwater ponds, and development sites. They eat cow crap in pastures and trash from garbage cans. They are herbivorous buzzards.

You mention all of your geese migrate in from the North, ours do not. We get some, but not many

I grind most of my goose breasts and mix them 50/50 with ground beef. Makes delicious burger My family can eat over 100 geese a year like that.

This is what we do with the residents. This is about 300 pounds of goose breast meat turned into snack sticks and summer sausage. This was all from September Early Resident Goose Season

I have made 300 lbs of goose and crane sausage in a batch. You may be dealing with geese that are crossed with domestic geese. I have see geese that I felt were a cross between Canada's and domestics. No one said you pulled any thing from anywhere. I just said it does not apply here. Things are different with all kinds of wildlife depending on where you are. One size does not fit all.

I didn't read all the post and am not a gooses hunter lol. I had a buddy that lived to hunt geese. He soaked them overnight in ginger ale and they turned bright white. Then he fried them like chicken. They were delicious.


I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....
