Are they decent to eat? I would never take them out of season but there is about 40 in my driveway right now. I actually had to honk the horn so I could pull up

Not the best, but cut up and marinate the breast and make bombs out of em

My bad. On phone and aggravated. Wife says my redneck side is coming out.

Thinking about a marinade of buttermilk and salt. Lol

They are much less fatty than a typical Christmas goose. Similar to the difference between your Thanksgiving Butterball and a wild turkey.

Best to cook low and slow, then sear the outside. I would either sous vide or smoke it. Follow either method with a good sear (use duck or goose fat if you have it).

I prefer Grey Goose.

But if you ran over them trying to get home? Is that illegal?

They’re not great.

I usually get all of the ones I keep made into pepperoni stick or make burnt ends with them.

soak them in ice water for a couple of days, then put them in crock pot and season as though you are cooking a beef roast, add beef stock, put in an onion and some carrots, put it on low and cook all day. I swear it tastes like super lean beef.

Pepperoni or jerky are the best options with honkers.

Not sure why the downvotes, was a serious question. Never had them before but if it's a decent food source I will try it

They truly aren’t worth messing with unless you’re on a hunt for them. I kill a ton of a year of an all species Giants, Greaters, Eastern Prarie Pricks, Richardsons, and cacklers and honestly none are great to eat. They’re all an absolute blast to hunt, but as far as table fare goes, stick to white fronts and puddle ducks, or cranes if you’re lucky to be in an area with them.

Canada geese are nasty, you do not want your dogs walking in goose shite and licking their paws or you will have them at the vet in about 8 hours. I wouldn't eat the geese either.

My inlaws had them in their barn for a while. My FiL wanted one for Christmas one year so they cooked one. Wasn't that good. They did get the eggs. I scrambled one once and it wasn't bad...big egg.
