Nemont, are those quill lake geese? Or just some color variant of your honkers that I'm sure can occur other places. Just curious, I don't know much about the Quill Lake geese and where they migrate to etc.

Cool pics,thanks for posting.

 

[NeMont]

Yeah shoot a fair number of quills.

 

[huntindad4]

Thats pretty cool! Thanks for the reply. Although I have heard about them I was unsure if they were a resident flock somewhere or a migratory flock from the Quill Lake area. Cool birds!

Lots of jerky, goose pastrami, lots of pulled goose goes to work with me, lots of curried goose over rice. I put a bunch into the sausage pile and grind right along with any other wild game.

Here is an easy one.

Put breasts, thighs and legs in a big crock pot and cover with the cheapest two litre bottle of cola you can buy. Cook on high for like 12 to 18 hours.

Discard all liquid, I mean all of it. Pull meat and make sure you get all the tendons from the legs and thighs.

Pulled meat can be mixed with any of your favorite BBQ sauce and served on a bun. Even the gals in the office eat that.

Hank Shaw's Goose Pastrami is great:

We roast or smoke almost all. Our waterfowl
Very few get turned into jerky or ground up

We just tried the pulled goose although a bit different recipe and it is awesome!

Definitely a winner way to cook honkers.

Nice ones Nemont! I just got back from eastern Montana. Tons of geese. We had no problem getting permission to hunt fields with just geese using them but for some reason couldn’t get permission on fields with ducks and geese. Either fields were leased or they didn’t allow hunting or someone else was going to hunt it. Oh well had a great time anyway.
