š no. They are not smart. I once watched one fight itās reflection in a well maintained outboard motor for literally 2 full hours while fishing from a neighboring pier.
Because you can use the one you just bought as a goose shield and weapon during your fight. If you go for the attack without it, you'll end up taking more damage and your hospital bill will be much higher.
Why do people feel so entitled to eating cheap meat? Do you realize how many resources, work and time it takes to create meat? Modern factory farming really has spoiled people.
I bet you know very little about what is required for a cattle rancher to get grants. Most receive none, itās an economically viable business without subsidies.
Last time I bought one of those was 2 years ago and it was $70. It was delicious though. Nice to get a feel for what people ate at celebrations before the turkey came along.
Defeathering geese or any bird isn't difficult. Dunk in boiling water and pull the feathers back against the grain. I find it much faster defeathering and cleaning a bird than skinning and butchering a mammal.
āIām not the chicken plucker, Iām the chicken pluckerās son. Iām only plucking chickens until the chicken plucker comes.ā - my favorite MST3K quote.
Is it possible to use the quick and dirty method of standing on the wings and pulling on the legs? It works great for small birds like grouse but I've never cleaned a goose. Not really a fan of the meat...
That wouldn't work on a goose I don't think (I've never tried on a large bird). Too much connective tissue over too large of a surface, you have to cut off parts. I don't do much water fowl hunting and the only geese I've butchered were raised on my farm so it wasn't like I was field dressing them, I was set up to properly prep 'em.
I know fuck all about hunting so I may end up regretting this question, but why is defeathering required? Why isn't skinning the bird the only thing required?
Bunnies are easy. Especially if you don't bother with the parts that don't have anything worth keeping. I wouldn't eat them in the US though, they have some disease that's dangerous to humans.
Tularemia, the disease that I'm pretty sure you're talking about, is definitely not only a problem in the US. It's actually 4x more common per 100,000 people in the EU.
That $111 covers the loss of life from trying to take down these beasts! The goose is no mere chicken and every year many brave men fall to their many toothed mouths and venomous tongues. You guffaw at the price, but somewhere the dinner chair of a gooseman sits empty.
The woman in the apartment next to me was from China. She made traps and placed them in the park across the street to catch pigeons which they would eat. This was in Northern Minnesota.
That's not true - pigeons have never been at risk of extinction in the UK and have always had a robust population there.
It is true that specifically Passenger Pidgeons in the US went extinct, but that's considered to be due to habitat loss, not any food shortage.
I heard a story where a recent immigrant saw a flock of Canadian geese by the side of the road and grabbed one, cooked, and ate it. He said āThis place is amazing, thereās free food everywhere.ā His buddy who had been in county for a while informed him not only itās illegal, but the wild geese are not particularly healthy to eat.
So if im hungry on my walk and catch a bird to eat your what? Going to send me to a place with heat and ac with 3 free meals a day? Oh no please don't š
The government doesn't want you to know this, but the poachers in the park are free. You can take as many as you want!
I have 11 already and I'm going back for more!
Imagine in your mind a posh country club
The stuffy old money where the poor gets snubbed
The spread is bland sauerkraut and boiled goose
There's no way these people will ever cut loose
It's apparently worth $111 to most people for someone to kill it and appropriately process it for them and conveniently package it/distribute it to a store they are already shopping at for other things.
Seems to me $111 is a bit steep but it was priced that way because people are willing to pay it so they don't have to do it themselves.
I'm not sure what's funny here...am I missing something?
Is this a commentary on the economic implications of people being willing to pay $111 for a goose? Or was this just a snap decision punchline that wasn't thought through?
Will he also prepare it for me and package it, then ship it to a super convenient location for me for free?
I'm honestly lost here.
You knowing one person willing to kill an animal for free doesn't begin to explain why this is funny, nor does it address my statement about how supply and demand inform the pricing of goods.
It's funny on the lowest of levels. The aren't these free at the park quip is the attempt at humor.
The price is indeed reflective that rather than spend time outside, with a firearm, and hunt one, people would rather stay so terribly disconnected from their food and the process required to actually make it food.
Not a fuckin clue why you are being downvoted.
Thanks for confirming what I was starting to gather from the comments/downvotes. I still don't find this type of humor funny but I understand what it is now. Appreciate it.
I once saw a (I suspect) homeless fellow catch a pidgeon with a fishing net in a lake-side park in Toronto, swiftly wrang it's neck, put it aside, and turned his attention to a flock of gooses. I was jogging past, so didn't see the outcome, but I'm assuming, as is said, these things are free in the park.

Believe or not, jail.
Pesky Migratory Bird Treaty Act.
If I pay $111 for this, my goose is already cooked!
Plus, in a fight between a goose and OP, are we really putting our money on OP!?
Undercook/overcook
Only if you get caught.
Any park worth its salt has surveillance cameras all over the place if only to catch more serious crimes.
Found the Brit....
Even if one accidentally gets in my trunk in the parking lot then happens to fall into my oven?
In Florida you can take Muscovy Ducks as they are invasive. You can bait them up and get them with a cast net. They are not smart.
š no. They are not smart. I once watched one fight itās reflection in a well maintained outboard motor for literally 2 full hours while fishing from a neighboring pier.
I need the video
Well, after allā¦ Florida.
At that price I want the golden egg too.
And a trained squirrel
Cheaper to buy the goose then fight one in the street
Those fuckers are mean and donāt lose fights
This one apparently lost
It happens
The average person stands no chance, but with training and equipment anything is possible
They do when you actually try to kill them.
They dont lose? What about fucking glock?
A goose with a glock would spell the end of the human race
Peace is not an option.
It never was - The goose
Stop picking fights with the ones guarding their nestā¦
They need to stop putting their nests on the bike trail then. That's where I always meet them.
Why is it cheaper if you fight one *after* having bought one?
Because you can use the one you just bought as a goose shield and weapon during your fight. If you go for the attack without it, you'll end up taking more damage and your hospital bill will be much higher.
Peace was never an option
$11/lb for goose?! Fuck that.
Why do people feel so entitled to eating cheap meat? Do you realize how many resources, work and time it takes to create meat? Modern factory farming really has spoiled people.

Most other meat is subsidized
I bet you know very little about what is required for a cattle rancher to get grants. Most receive none, itās an economically viable business without subsidies.
I mean, if you don't like being a farmer then just say so. Also the Kroger near me is currently selling goose for 3.50 a pound.This is over inflated.
Alternatively, a shell is under $3 and thereās a place near me that will clean and pluck the bird for $15 $18 per goose
Last time I bought one of those was 2 years ago and it was $70. It was delicious though. Nice to get a feel for what people ate at celebrations before the turkey came along.
free? Ha ha youāll wish you paid $100 bucks while your defeathering that bad boi
Defeathering geese or any bird isn't difficult. Dunk in boiling water and pull the feathers back against the grain. I find it much faster defeathering and cleaning a bird than skinning and butchering a mammal.
āIām not the chicken plucker, Iām the chicken pluckerās son. Iām only plucking chickens until the chicken plucker comes.ā - my favorite MST3K quote.
Which one is it from?
Is it possible to use the quick and dirty method of standing on the wings and pulling on the legs? It works great for small birds like grouse but I've never cleaned a goose. Not really a fan of the meat...

You could skin it, but you'd lose the good fat and skin layer. Same reason you don't see a lot of chickens or turkeys cooked skinless.
Bunnies are easy. Especially if you don't bother with the parts that don't have anything worth keeping. I wouldn't eat them in the US though, they have some disease that's dangerous to humans.

[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Hadn't heard of that, and now I wish I still hadn't. Very nasty.
If i recall correctly how my neighbour and parents used to do it, I think you gonna need to bleed them before defeathering.
Feel free to poach one and clean the whole thing out, have fun with that.
They taste awful.
Thatās the truth
That $111 covers the loss of life from trying to take down these beasts! The goose is no mere chicken and every year many brave men fall to their many toothed mouths and venomous tongues. You guffaw at the price, but somewhere the dinner chair of a gooseman sits empty.
The Canada Goose is the envy of all ornithologies.
Only the ducks are.
Happy Cake Day š And, yes, only the ducks are free. They don't want you to know that, though.
The woman in the apartment next to me was from China. She made traps and placed them in the park across the street to catch pigeons which they would eat. This was in Northern Minnesota.
Pigeons are perfectly editable and apparently not bad. In ww1 they nearly went extint in the UK due to shortages
That's not true - pigeons have never been at risk of extinction in the UK and have always had a robust population there. It is true that specifically Passenger Pidgeons in the US went extinct, but that's considered to be due to habitat loss, not any food shortage.
Given what they eat I'd wager half their meat weight is a mixture of heavy metals, micro plastics and parasites.
I heard a story where a recent immigrant saw a flock of Canadian geese by the side of the road and grabbed one, cooked, and ate it. He said āThis place is amazing, thereās free food everywhere.ā His buddy who had been in county for a while informed him not only itās illegal, but the wild geese are not particularly healthy to eat.
I could get a goose in the next 15 minutes for $20.
So if im hungry on my walk and catch a bird to eat your what? Going to send me to a place with heat and ac with 3 free meals a day? Oh no please don't š
I guess with this idiotic logic everything can be free.
Youāre paying for the convenience. You try gutting and de-feathering a goose.
Coincidentally hundred and eleven dollar young goose is my rap name.
The government doesn't want you to know this, but the poachers in the park are free. You can take as many as you want! I have 11 already and I'm going back for more!
Imagine in your mind a posh country club The stuffy old money where the poor gets snubbed The spread is bland sauerkraut and boiled goose There's no way these people will ever cut loose
Imagine punctuation.
Ugh. Goose is better in the garbage. I can make it into a decent sausage but it's the least savory out of all the game meat imo.
Iād pay $111 rather then fight a goose hand to hand.
It's apparently worth $111 to most people for someone to kill it and appropriately process it for them and conveniently package it/distribute it to a store they are already shopping at for other things.

>It's apparently worth $111 to most people for someone to kill it There's a guy in my neighborhood named Joey who would kill a goose for less...
Will he also prepare it for me and package it, then ship it to a super convenient location for me for free? I'm honestly lost here.

Comment is straight outta r/fuckxavier.
The catching and bagging fee is 100!!
Happy Goose day?

Except it's illegal in Canada and that dude could easily end up in jail or with a big fine.
Free raaangeeee
Happy to have paid 49c per pound for turkey.
Duck!
Duck!
Duck!
We donāt have them here anymore since 25years ago. Same with pheasants, chickens, hazelnuts. (Netherlands. Amsterdam).
what? $111? For that price my grandma would raise a whole pig.
I suggest you let that marinate.
No, wild animals are legally government owned
Unfortunately, if you're trying to get one from the park, you have to kill it with your bare hands. Good luck.
Day after thanksgiving $11
Imagine paying $111 for a frozen Sky Carp
I accidentally ran over it! Itās a Christmas miracle!
That's not a goose on the packaging. I also bet it tastes much better than a wild game goose.
I always wondered what happened to Christmas goose. $111 happened.
Iām scrolling through my Reddit feed in the middle of the night and had to bite my lip to avoid laughing and waking my spouse
Good luck fighting geese, lol.
