I was watching FLAIR on YouTube today and they had a taste test between duck and goose, and flair swore that GOOSE tastes better than DUCK.
This really threw me, Ive always heard and believed that goose is typically gross because its leaner and tougher. Although I have eaten goose before aside from just jerky, usually roasted in a crockpot. Duck on the other hand I've found to be fattier and has better flavor because of it.
I'm interested to know what other hunters think, is Flair crazy? Am I crazy? Have I been missing out on some God-teir meat? Let me know what you think.
I started hunting about 3 years ago, but have no experience or any guidance really. I have access to family farm land that is really good for geese.
With that said, I have managed to harvest a few ducks on some ponds out on the farm. I have failed miserably at goose hunting. I think I need more decoys, only have 12.
My biggest issue is that I dont know anyone that likes goose. I have never had it. I really enjoyed the duck meat I have had, it was quite “beefy” in taste, and very tender.
I see mixed reviews on goose. My problem is that I just don’t want to invest in more goose decoys, a better blind, and all that just to discover goose is not something I want to eat.
Duck hunting has come more natural to me, the ponds provide plenty of cover for me, I found a bag of used decoys for $15.
I would love to get into goose hunting, so help me out, what is goose meat like compared to duck?

I have always loved roast duck HK style and have only tries goose a couple of times and found it a bit disappointing. Maybe I'm just too accustomed to that duck flavour?
New to homesteading and want to have meat and laying livestock. Recommendation for noob-level bird? taste differences, handling, and gk appreciated.

Hey guys, got a quick question cause I couldn't find the answer. Beef is too expensive for me but I have a homestead where we raise geese and ducks and eggs. Is it possible to do the carnivore diet eating just chicken eggs, goose, and duck meat? I did the carnivore (beef only) for 40 days and felt amazing, but it was way too expensive so I'm trying to find another route. Any help or info would be great!
We usually have it once a week at the moment, and my god, it tastes amazing, wipes the floor with other meats I've tasted, we usually fry them on the outside for a minute and then a few hours to cook. They shrink, but with the skin crisp, every bite is delicious.
Is there something specific with this meat that it tastes out of this world?
My wife & I bought our first house a year ago, 1/3 of an acre in a tiny unincorporated Midwestern town. We are avid gardeners, became beekeepers, and are now looking at getting some egg laying birds that we can also eat. Our biggest concern is that we have 3 Shih Tzus, our boys are about to turn 14 and don't have a care in the world, our 3 year old is a 9lb huntress, she's come close to snatching birds out of the air. Also, dogs eat nasty things, from kitty crunchies in a litter box to bird droppings (no, we don't have cats, just personal experience). We're leaning towards having ducks, they are delicious! But we would appreciate some input for those of you with experience!
I would like the subs opinion on what bird of the 3 is better for effort to output for food.
(I live in Central Alberta, if that makes a difference to anyone)
I've got a recipe for red cabbage that I often make that calls for "3T rendered fresh goose or pork fat, or butter." I've always used butter in past, but I thought that this year I'd be a little more adventurous and try the goose fat.
I called over to my neighborhood butcher, and they're out of goose fat, but the do have some duck fat. So, I was curious about what the different properties of the two are? Is duck fat a good substitute for goose fat? How would they differ?
Thanks!
look at the size of those fucking things. a single goose could easily feed an entire family.
