That's quite a goose for certain. Did you weigh it? The heaviest one I ever saw, my father and doubled down on years ago. It weighed just over 19 pounds on a legal scale. There was one mounted in a restaurant down at home that supposedly weighed 22 pounds when killed.
Oldest band I ever shot had been on the goose 11 years and it had been banded as an adult. Friends father killed one that had been on the goose 26 years as amazing as that sounds.
