Wow that does seem light for such a massive bird! I agree, it must be the weather and lack of food. That's a 13 or 15 pounder if I ever saw one.

Yeah, looking again at my tear weight, they were probably more like 11 and 10 and may have dessicated a little hanging, but they are definitely what we would call razor breasts if they were ducks. I will not pick for roasting for sure. Probably will perform a radical mastectomy. I like geese best early in the year when they are still in family flocks. Some of these big ones are old. I killed one that was banded as an adult and was banded eight years when I got it!

A friend gave me the breasts off a Canada with a 59" wingspan. They were so tough you couldn't cut the gravy with a chain saw

I gave that huge one Dad and I killed to a german lady who was going to roast it for Christmas. I never did hear the outcome but my guess is it was a little on the tough side.

Was his first name Lyndon?

Not to get into who's is bigger, but my son and a buddy brought one down in January that weighed 22 lbs. They weighed it on a postal scale, but did not measure the wingspan. Edward said the ground shook when it came down.
