Tam Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 Smoked the 2 Geese I shot on Friday :drool: done one with a Cajun spice they may look a bit on the Pink side (Pink feet - OK i'll get my coat) but they are better cooked/smoked rare & they will still cook a bit when they cool The downside is - I shot a Canada on Saturday - great long shot & dead in the air but it landed in the fast flowing water on a fast falling tide :/ the dog tried his hardest but I called him off it :( To be honest it is the second bird I have had to call him off in the last 7 years - I was even trying to think where I might intercept it down river but I was already a mile from my truck so gave up hope. I have seen people drop birds one after another without care but I am gutted when I lose a bird A guy was walking down the sea wall ( a fellow shooter) he said I saw the Geese in flight & thought they are well high today, only to hear a shot & one fold - he gave me some reasurance in saying you tried your hardest to retreive it - still didn't make me feel any better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildfowler.250 Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Looks good! Any instructions on how to do that with the geese? The old man bought a smoker recently and haven't used it much,(cremated some pheasants but that's it). Lost birds happen. Just be glad it was dead I lost a wigeon not that long ago. Thought it was dead so sent the dog for it and the bird started diving. Eventually called the dog back but within 5 minutes a seal ate it! Not much gets wasted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aister Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Looks good, I think I will need to give smoking a try this year. Shame about the lost bird but it does happen, anyone that shoots enough will lose the odd bird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
