I never liked the taste of any goose other than the white front geese. I ate them all but gave them away whenever I could. I stopped shooting snow geese, Canada's and Ross geese in Saskatchewan. I took only the white front geese. They taste like a big mallard. I always picked them and took sixteen home each year, all the law allowed. The rest of my ducks and geese I gave to the Aboriginal people. They love to eat waterfowl but don’t shoot them because of the cost of the shells. My closest Aboriginal friend told me that one shell has to equal a lot of meat. They stick mostly to deer and moose. But they sure loved to eat the waterfowl I gave them. They returned the favor and gave me permission to hunt all tribal lands. They would show me where the moose were hanging out and helped me pack them out of the woods. I gave them all but 75 pounds which I took home.
