Congrats!
Yeah well these definitely are lol. The good thing about it, though, is that they taste great. They make for a very hearty beef stew

Yeah I have to be more cautious and watch out for who's around me. I waited 15-20mins to take my shots on the geese as there were 2 groups of golfers back to back on the hole next to me.

I didn’t know this was a head shot until I recovered the corpse this morning. My pard was at 2% battery so I had to shoot quick, it already auto shutoff once. I may have clipped the second.
25cal P35 at 18 yards, overkill but that’s what my PARD is on

They are the best eating “goose” there is to most of the guys I know that take them, me included. (Taxonomically they sit between goose and duck) I personally have not plucked one but use the breast for smoking (has a roast-beef quality to it) and save the legs to make rilette, a meat spread for sandwiches, delicious with sweet onion jam
compared to canada goose or malard duck I defenitly prefer egyptian.Upvote 0
I had it as stewed beef and it was great!They are the best eating “goose” there is to most of the guys I know that take them, me included.

Did you stew the entire bird or just legs, just breast,…? I have to try that, put it in a pie. Would be a lot easier getting the metal shot out as well with a strong magnet once the meat has stewed down! (many of the birds we take have steel shot in them from botched attempts of other hunters to take them, chowing down on lead shot is not too bad but steel is not a good day

I take them out with air rifles, and I only take headshots, so I don't have to worry about any of that lol. But i've only ever carved out the breast. Skinning them is oddly difficult for some reason.Did you stew the entire bird or just legs, just breast,…? I have to try that, put it in a pie.

I’m the shooter. The scope cam is from my partner using my P35X and scopecam to film. I can’t ever seem to get him to understand that parallax matching range Is necessary. I’m shooting a Katran L .177 with MK III ko slugs 10.03 at 1015fps.

Man o man, this was an interesting and fun iguana removal spot today. Got 9 iguanas and 1 agama. All headshots, got 1 from the 4 from a palm tree and 5 on top of both the main house and guest house. Shot 1 iguana from about 60% of the way on the ladder, wielding the U2 C .22 on my left hand, shooting with my right hand, shot another while sitting at the top of the guest house. There was a lot of up and down today lol.

I wasn't expecting an eyelid shot on that one from the ladder. I somehow get a perfect shot on the ladder but needed 2 shots when I was sitting down on the guest houseThat is some spectacular shooting off ladders, roof tops....!!! Great photos! I couldn't hit a barn door shooting off a ladder..
