EricM Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Start of the early season has not been easy, most birds in the area are only local birds but a strong north wind has kicked in the migration making this mornings hunt one to remember. The final tally was 31 birds and 1 banded bird. We could have made our limit but we all agreed 31 was plenty of birds too clean.. Regular season of ducks and geese starts next saturday. More reports too follow.. Here's my first band of the season, will be phoning it in on Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigos Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Always wanted to hunt geese. I am a displaced australian so never got to hunt much there. I shoot competitive sporting clays - won a few national, state and regional comps. Looks wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jquest63 Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Nice Shooting! How will you be preparing them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricM Posted September 23, 2009 Author Share Posted September 23, 2009 We normally only breast them and have pepperettes made with them.. Other times I eat the breast like steaks, marinate them for 3 days and cook rare.. Just so amazing and tender!!.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thechenman Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Nice!!!!!i have always heard there meat is like a rubber band......But your sayin not so????? I think the meat is a bit gamier than duck, and definitely has more fat which can sometime lead to it being too oily for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricM Posted October 7, 2009 Author Share Posted October 7, 2009 Nice!!!!!i have always heard there meat is like a rubber band......But your sayin not so?????

I could probably just run up and grab one, that might be easier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buch0 Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Decoys? He must be having us on I think... What's the difference between the "decoys" and the actual targets? I think the rest of those geese in the pictures would be dead as well if they hadn't run out of bullets.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigos Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 I shoot competitive sporting clays in WA state and always wanted to goose hunt ... using decoys is to hunt birds (ducks, geese) is common place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackFriar Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 HAH!!!! That band is from Laurel, Maryland which is adjacent to my house. Here's hoping that particular goose is one of the many that ****'s all over my yard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
