thats a lot of bird

reminds me of a receipe I once saw for swan, stuff it - baste it, put it in the oven at 350 degs, and check it once a week until done.

Dunnigan,

Always been keen to get out there and try for a tule goose. I hear there are more of them than there used to be. Is that true?

We got some good pass shooting yesterday, south of Cape Girareau, Mo. Heavy fog all day. Ended up with 8 ducks and 8 geese. Crappy weather means I leave the pretty guns at home and take the plastic stocks

Oh well.

Hey Destry, there are tons of spec's is the area and they are very smart. Lots of out-smarted hunters. The tule goose population is currently in the 10-12 k range and are protected through a two white front limit since most guys, including me, wouldn't be able to tell them apart on the fly.

David, what a nice limit of birds...love those eagle heads. Must've been a great hunt.

I wrap them in bacon and grill them. They're best when they're pretty rare, like all meat

When I was a kid, which was a long tome ago, they tried to protect both the tule goose and the Ross' goose. Now there are a lot more Ross geese but sounds like tules are still a rather small population.
