I have been outside on the patio and watched about 50 Canada geese fly over honking like mad, noisy devils.

Been 2 years since I shot and ate one.

Do you like to eat goose?

Not over keen on any game bird but up until a few days ago I had an old mate who scoffed the lot, unfortunately he is no longer with us.

Rabbit is my fav.

Have shot hundreds of 'em, only tried one, not for me.
I sold them to local Butcher.

I used to shoot on the Wash, Greylag and Pinkfoot geese, they were not too bad.

lying in a muddy creek in the Snow or Sleet, not for the faint hearted at -5

Hearing them coming over the Marsh sounding like a thousand dogs yelping gives me goose lumps again just thinking about it.

The locals called them "the hounds of Heaven"
What i'd give to do it again!

Goose is extremely fatty. However it's cooked, allow for the fat to drain off.

We have flocks and flocks of Canada geese fly over the Bay Area. They are pretty to watch, but when they choose a park or lake to roost overnight, they leave shit all over the place. Some places they really like, and they leave it unfit for humans.

I have shot on the Wash and Marshes but NEVER without a local guide. The person who introduced me to the Wash was cut off with water coming around behind him unnoticed, lucky for him he was spotted by a guy in a boat and rescued, he probably would have got out minus his gun and tackle.
He got really friendly with that guy and the bought a punt and punt gun they tied to the boat and went after duck, got a fair few.
I never went out on the punt but heard it.

The punt and gun was sold in Kings Lynne 3/4 years ago.

Stormee, if you want a good read about Wildfowling on the Wash, look for a book called

"Kenzie the Wild Goose Man" by Collin Willock.
