Flying Roast Beef

Does anyone enjoy goose hunting at all?
What calls/decoys do you prefer?
Any favorite recipes?
In MD it just came into season this weekend. I'm heading out next Saturday, and will post pictures of the bounty if anyone is interested.

Apparently, my Father did. Hardly a day went by, in my youth and sometimes later, that he didn't say "Your goose is cooked."

Seriously. goose is great. When the men in the family brought in the haul, my Grandmother would make several different dishes including one like Peking Duck, we even had goose sandwiches.

Goose Hunting... a.k.a. "the most expensive sport known to man".

Enjoyed going with friends when I lived in Michigan for a while...Hunted in standing corn.

Can't remember the exact recipie... but one of the guys had a recipie where the meat was soaked in Coke plus brown sugar prior to cooking. The Coke supposedly helped with the taste aspect that many don't like. All I know is that it was absolutely delicious.

Might want to google a bit and see what you come up with.... I just did and came up with lots of hits on using coke+brown sugar as a marinade.

good luck!

That does sound like a good marinade. Traditionally in my family the Thanksgiving/Christmas goose typically just gets stuffed with veggies and bacon layed on top to draw the game out of it. It works well, and I have seen a few recipes online, but I was just curious if anyone had a favored family recipe or something along those lines.

On the expense portion of your post, just buy a box or two of steel. We have a hunting property on the shore that we can take guests to at no charge. Stamps are a bit pricey at about the cost of a box of shells, but it's great hunting up there. If anyone else in or near Maryland would like to go on a goose hunt, PM me to check availability of a spot in the pit. Non-resident fees are posted here:http://www.dnr.state.md.us/huntersguide/license.asp Besides those fees (approx. $119 for 3 day non-resident license, stamps, and 2 boxes of shells), just bring money for food

Thumbs down Skunked

The conditions were perfect, but the birds were few and far between. I took some scenery pictures though that I think some will appreciate.

Thanks for the photos Bryan,
Things were a little busier over here in QA county. Didn't get out myself, but I have a neighbor who likes to share

Did an upside-down roast recipe that was quite good...
