Son and his wife had a great goose hunt yesterday, pix of daughter! They are duck/goose hunting machines. That girl can swing a shotgun!

Very nice. I've never hunted waterfowl. How are they for eating?
Totally depends on the cook and the species. A lot of folks make jerky out of Geese. My Dad however can prepare it in a way that you want seconds. I on the other hand can prepare it where it is edible and fine for a plate but ya typically don’t want seconds!
 
I've had domestic duck and I love it. Never had wild duck.
Funny story about cooking Duck, as most on here know the men in our family are the primary cooks. No different at our house I do the cooking day in day out. I really like to cook and have attended many culinary classes for this and that. One such class was on cooking Duck, it was at a swanky restaurant on the Oregon Coast. The class was great, but as the Chef was preparing the Duck, the breast was huge and he was slitting it to stuff and putting some perforations in it for flavor enhancing. I raised my hand and asked where he got the duck as I had never in my life seen a breast so plump on a Duck. He remarked they all looked that way? I replied I simply had never seen one like that, his helper whisper in his ear. The response was classic, the Chef was aghast. He looked right at me and accusingly asked “you shoot them”. Yep he never looked at me or spoke to me again.

Stuffed with herbs and fruit, baked breast down... Carves like roast beef. .. less greasy than duck
 
Well Merry Christmas all you gun bunnies out there! Don’t forget to give your doggos a Xmas treat! Hope you guys all have a great bit of time away from work and enjoy some fellowship with your families. We sure do appreciate you guys. I will leave you with this bit of Shepard pup nonsense this morning. You can just see the condescending sneer on the Mal as she watches the pup, thinking to herself what a moron I have for a Sister! As the pup tries to free herself. Milk teeth are all but gone, still teething a bit but mostly over it.
