Greylag geese

Hi,

 

never shot a goose before, but was lucky enough to bag a right and left greylag at the weekend, which I was hugely proud of. I understand they make good eating? Can anyone recommend some ways of preparing them please? Something not too fussy, that even I can manage!!

 

Thanks,

 

Snipe.

Thanks Spaniel. I was truly immensely proud - to be honest I was just in shock when I saw both come towering down! I then missed the inevitable few but ended with a Canada, which was a great way to start and end my goose shooting experience! Certainly worth getting up at 6am for, and certainly an experience I won't forget for a long time.

Hi Spaniel,

I was shooting to the East of York. A couple of fishing friends of mine invited me up for some partridge and pheasant shooting, but also managed to squeeze in the goose shooting. They were coming in to a field that supposedly had some potato remains on it. They were coming in in great numbers, and we bagged 8 in total, which was great. They were flying in from some marsh area nearby - great hearing them approaching from a distance, very exciting.

Treat them like beef, and do what you like with them. I had some at a friends house on saturday braised with mushrooms in guiness. I have also had the breasts thinly sliced across the grain and BBQ'd.

 

You can pretty much do what you like with them, just don't dry them out with too much cooking.
