Another great hunt with friends

[Kevin J Legg]

Another good hunt with great friends. We were able to bag a fast limit and get out of the field before big flocks arrived. Should be good for another hunt. Birds cupped up and came right to the landing zone.

We have a local butcher make us goose sausage ; he makes it up with 80 % goose & 20 % pork + spices to taste !

Cleaning the birds can be a slow process to separate the meet ; as I tell people you cannot buy this and We know EXACTLY what is in the meet !

[Kevin J Legg]

I make breakfast and Italian sausage myself and I have many great ways to use their meat. I generally will use leg meat as well. Biggest Issue is the havoc that steel shot can play on your teeth. I have 3 crowns to attest to that damage and you need to be careful as steel is unforgiving.

We use every bit of meat that we can separate which can make it a slow process ; at best 3/4 hr. Per bird : I then open the cavity and ad the heart  ( liver goes separate to an Asian friend ) 

[Kevin J Legg]

I use to grind the gizzard and heart in with meat making sausage and save the livers but my daughter doesn't think I should eat much organ meat.

Liver is high in saturated fat and may not be indicated for certain diets :Wild goose meat is total protein the pork is added to improve ? flavour  ,

[Kevin J Legg]

Yep. My daughter is a doctor and watches carefully over me. Pork adds some fat and flavor same as with ground venison. She's all for wild game and fish. In fact I supply her family and my son's with lots of fish and game.

Just canned 7 quarts of goose. It took the breasts meat of 9 geese and leg meat of 7 geese for the seven quarts. Pretty simple process with a pressure canner, doesn't take up freezer space, and tastes great.

Glad to hear you guys are taking the legs.  Too many don’t.  Great for soup and makes a wicked goose stroganoff.  Nice going, Kevin.

Again we harvest all the meat ; we would not leave the legs the only issue is the time factor : our best shoot was 23 geese and paying the butcher ( he needed $ 125 for the the work !)

[Kevin J Legg]

In the early season with 15 bird limits we stack up a pile of geese ( several days with 60 birds or more) which takes a great deal of time to process. If we took 45 minutes a bird it would be ridiculous) We do the best we can but latter season I'm more meticulous.

That canned goose looks good. We can quite a bit of Venison and it is one of my favorites.
