Hi again everybody...I went after geese for my first time this fall, here in NE Saskatchewan, and I only got 1 canada and the rest were snow geese. I was nervous about the meat because I'd heard so many bad things abou snows. One of my bosses said, when I asked him what he would do with a snow goose, "coyotes have to eat too", another older guy I know said they found that the best way to eat a snow goose is to cook it in the oven covered in strips of bacon, an that upon cooking it, throw out the goose and eat the bacon! I don't know what everyone is hating on them for, now that I've eaten a few. They are delicious if you prepare them well. What some friends of ours (my wife and I) told us to do is put the bird in a slow cooker on low heat for 5-6 hours with a can of mushroom soup and a chopped onion, along with spices of your preference. That's what we've done and its been wonderful. My mom normally is not fond of wild game but she loved this goose when we had them over for supper. So, the snow geese are overpopulated and they're allowing a special spring goose season for snows only. I'll be getting my shotgun out...they are perfectly good food done right! Only thing I think I'll do differently is just cut out the breast meat next time, not much else on those comparatively small birds.
