which geese are edible?

[silverstoat 2]

Hi there,

Does anybody have a list of the edible and inedible species of wild geese?

Graylags, Canadas and brent are regularly grazing around here at the moment but I tend not to shoot anything I can't eat.

Thanks.

As far as I know Brent are verboten (protected). As far as the others are concerned they are all edible but exactly how edible depends on how old the bird is! What they've been feeding on can alter the taste as well. An old Canada is like a lump of shoe leather! A young one is one of the most delicious birds you could eat.

Yep I think you're right just about all are edible

Any bird or mammal is edible

pinkfoot geese are really nice to eat usually get a couple of the next door neighbor for a couple of rabbits

Thanks for the advice folks,

I don't think I've seen any pinkfooted around, but I'll maybe go noise-up some canada geese and have a taste of that!
