2024 Canada Goose Hunts

[CharlieNY]

Today was opening day for early Canada Goose season. Here's a couple pics of my lab Waylon making a couple of retrieves. It was a beautiful morning and I hope for many more to come.

He looks like he's having fun.

He sure is. He has more fun than the hunters and everyone loves watching him make retrieves. Thanks.

I wanted to add a couple pics of Waylon making a long water retrieve today. Enlarge the first pic and you can see him on a straight line to the bird in the water. Second pic is him on his way back with the bird. There is nothing more enjoyable than hunting with a good dog.

How are you cooking the goose tonight?

Not cooking them tonight but I will brine the breasts for 48 hrs. in the refrigerator and then put them in my smoker and smoke them over hickory chips. This is one of the best tasting ways I have found of preparing them and everyone who has tried them prepared this way  has liked them.

I wish I could try it.

I've been told the same thing several times. You'll like em the way I cook them, everyone does, lol. The only way I've had goose that was "ok maybe good" was a guy at a gun club dinner made goose jerky.

We are out again today. We took my son's black lab Gunner out today and he is doing his thing. Another great day for us.
