r/Hunting on Reddit: Duck Vs Goose: which tastes better?
October 10, 2019 -

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.

r/Hunting on Reddit: How similar does goose taste to duck?
September 13, 2021 -

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?

Goose is richer and sweeter. Goose breasts make great summer sausage and jerky. If roasted, slit the back in a few faces and set on a rack in a roasting pan to let the fat drain away.

Ducks taste much better, IMO, and if I had more duck hunting opportunities (and dates in the season), I would hunt ducks over geese any chance I got. But, that isn't the case, and there are something like 12 weeks of goose season around me so I've worked to figure out what to do with them. My go-to is jerky because everyone in my house loves it to the point where I have to hide it from my kids and portion it out slowly. Corned goose is also good. Legs/thighs/other trim are pretty good slow cooked, though it's a tough sell for my wife and two youngest kids. A really important thing I've found with geese is post-kill meat care. I get it home, clean it up really well and then put it in brine for a few days before using it or freezing it. seems to help even out the quality of individual birds - there is nothing quite so tough as an old Canada goose. also, to add on to the great advice from u/HOOSIERFLYGUY - in my experience, you're not going to decoy geese away from where they want to be very often. it's really, really important to scout and understand where they are landing in a given field or whatever. if you're just 50 yards off the mark, those birds are very unlikely to land in your spread. as far as cover and hiding, it can be helpful to set your decoys around you rather than out in front of you. lay down blinds are good, but we've also killed a huge pile of them from hay-bale blinds. good luck! have fun!

I was thinking about a rating system for fowl the other day because someone mentioned wanting to raise turkeys and I was talking to them about how they are the dumbest creatures and can be difficult to keep alive. Geese are psychopaths and with two small children, not worth the headaches. Ducks are nice layers and yummy but pretty poor at staying away from predators. I decided my rating from hardest to easiest to keep alive and worth the payout of meat, eggs, etc. would be Turkey, Geese, Ducks, Guineas, Chickens.

The best intro meat and laying bird is a coturnix quail and that's a hill I am willing to die on: Pro's - easy to breed, easy to hatch, easy to house, very feed efficient, very quick developers going from being eggs to laying eggs in 8 weeks, incredibly easy to process in the kitchen with no fancy equipment, the meat doesn't really toughen with age so a mature bird is as tender as a young one. Con's - everything is smaller so figure 3 eggs to 1 chicken egg and 1-2 birds per person serving size. The meat is more flavorful so less versatile and of course portions are smaller. (For a good alternative to chickens meat try meat rabbits for an easy to breed and keep animal). To actually answer your question- Chickens are good for either meat or eggs and I routinely raise them for both but meat birds and layers are very different things and each requires its own infrastructure, techniques, and even diet. You can't really breed meat birds yourself as a modern broiler is a specific hybrid of a couple of breeds and you aren't really capable of reproducing that at home. Heritage meat birds like a Brahma are great and you can breed them yourself but they are very slow growers (think 6-8 months rather than 6-8 weeks for a modern bird) and that age brings both a stronger (better but less neutral) flavor and a tougher consistency. They also have much smaller breasts than you'd expect. "Dual purpose" birds like a rhode island red are also great but temper your expectations regarding their meat. There's a reason there's so many chicken soups and stews historically. Duck and geese are strongly flavored meats. If that flavor is what you want then chicken is right out and if you want chicken don't even consider these. They are very good but their own thing. Ducks are very messy and have special water needs but on the brightside they don't scratch (and so are easy on gardens and grounds) and they are a lot of fun. The eggs are large and very rich. Ideal for baking but less so scrambled or fried. We keep eight different species of birds and I love 'em. If you want to get real adventurous look into emu and (my person favorite) rhea. Another great homesteader bird that is lesser known is the chukar partridge. They have a lot of the same characteristics that make quail great but are much larger. My biggest issue with them is that they are extremely difficult to sex, even when mature, so planning out a specific breeding group it's hard to figure your sex ratio.

July 14, 2012 - Normally I avoid the dark meat on a turkey but it's edible and goose is about equal to that in flavor. I've actually seen a few people who like duck complain that goose lacks flavor and most of those people don't like chicken or turkey too well.

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?

December 31, 2011 - I'm not saying you are 100% guaranteed to be safe eating medium rare duck and vice versa about the risk of getting sick from eating raw chicken but the fact that nobody ever questions eating a medium rare game meat like elk, venison, wild boar, and semi-game meats like lamb and buffalo it goes to show that naturally raised animals are the way to go.

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!

r/Cooking on Reddit: Goose fat vs duck fat
December 23, 2016 -

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!
